Hello:

    TopSpeed Modula-2 does follow PIM3, but adds several nice extensions to the language.  Neil Jensen of JPI stated that when the draft becomes a standard, TopSpeed Modula-2 will conform to that standard.

    My main gripe about TopSpeed Modula-2 2.00 is the documentation is very poor, and has a lot of mistakes (ie. telling you must call a given procedure with a parameter of type CARDINAL, when the procedure really takes a parameter of type SHORTCARD).

    Neils Jensen stated that JPI is having the documentation rewritten by professional technical writers (instead of doing it inhouse as before).

    I used Logitech M2 at college, and JPI TopSpeed Modula-2 (1.17 & 2.00) at work and home.  TopSpeed wins hands down.
