   MS-C has a option named -Gw or something like that (look up your manual!).
   This option encapsules every function in a windows-specific prolog and
   epilog.

   I'm afraid your Modula-compiler doesn't know about a MS-specific prolog/
   epilog, so your compiler is not able to generate windows-programs at all.

   (I posted yesterday for a research for a compiler that support windows.
    We'll see what I'll get.)

   I hope it hit you not too hard, but I'm afraid there's no way!
   (Perhaps a real guru will find a hack, but I don't beleive, because
    the prolog/epilog-structure must be embedded deep in the code-generator
    of the compiler and I haven't ever seen the source of a Modula-Compiler.)
