Just a question - dose anyone have any modules for TopSpeed Modula 2 ver 1.17 
for writing modules for Windows.

Thanks.

I don't think you will get this working, since IIRC the segment registers 
of the generated code are used for temporary storage. I once had a patch 
to correct this, which was what JPI (as they were called in those days) 
used internally to bootstrap their first protected-mode compiler, but I 
think I have lost it.

I _have_ had a certain amount of success with version 3 of the compiler, 
but have not yet located a good debugger. I spent a chunk of this very 
morning looking at the debugger that comes with the newest Clarion to see 
if I could get that to do the job, but it's looking for debug information 
at the end of the .exe file which v3 doesn't emit. I believe there is a 
Windows version of VID but haven't yet laid hands on it... has anybody 
had any success along these lines?

TopSpeed 1.17 does not support windows at all - and since you generally 
need specific compiler support, trying to program windows would likely 
be an exercise in futility. 

However, the latest version of TopSpeed (version 3.1 I think) does 
support windows - once in a while you'll see postings to this group from
people who are using it to do just that... 

Cheers,

Jan Walter
