We are already using the Turbo to Modula-2 compiler from
Logitech.  It is certainly useful -- but we find that a considerable
amount of patching after the fact is necessary.  I don't think the
slowness of the program has anything to do with the use of the
automatic conversion -- we've certainly tried to remove obvious
clumsy things that the converter introduces because it doesn't really
understand the code -- and our code looks (at least to our eyes)
similar to ``good'' Modula-II.

The problem really does seem to be the Logitech 2.0 compiler.
Our code is text oriented.  It uses a lot of string operations,
it uses lots of pointers, it uses lots of records.  I'm hoping
that the new version of 3.0 will produce better code.
