BTW, the Metrowerks Modula-2 >compiler for the Macintosh(TM) provides just such a module. This is what I REALLY like about Modula-2; the ability to expand/change its capabilities. I've thought about doing this very same thing (but haven't had time). One of the first things I changed about M-2 was the IO. Not liking the standard IO modules, I wrote my own (software tools inspired). My Modula-2 motto is "If I don't like something; don't complain, change it!". If only I could find time to get back to a much neglected project; a full Virtual Operating System. -- Hal Chambers hal@newton.physics.purdue.edu hal@physics-newton.arpa
