Modules which compile fine in Volition (UCSD p-System), Logitech, and TURBO CP/M Modula-2, _don't_ in FTL without changes. I also have a copy of Borland's Turbo M2 (available from Echelon, Inc., 835 N. San Antonio Rd., Los Altos CA 94022; (415) 948-3820), and it is as nice in every way as their Pascal, and nicer in that you can build much bigger programs. It is about $70.00 (they take plastic money). . . -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sam'l Bassett, Self-Employed Writer -- My words & ideas are my own! 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; DDD: (415) 454-7282; / dual\ UUCP: {...known world...}! lll-crg!well!samlb; Compuserve: 71735,1776; \hplabs/
