We have been attempting to convert a program written in Turbo
Pascal to Modula-II, and have purchased Logitech's version.
Currently, the size of the resulting object code, and the speed 
of the program is leaving LOTS to be desired (the program is about
4-5 times as big, and runs significantly slower).

I'd appreciate any thoughts on the problem.  Possible solutions:
(1) what we might be doing wrong in conversion
(2) what other compilers we should be looking at.

Thanks very much for your help!
