Has anyone seen an update on the Stony Brook Win95 Modula-2 ?

Last I heard, many weeks ago, they were finishing the manuals real-soon-now,
but had been sidetracked temporarily...
Does anyone have this running... ?

Across the ditch, TopSpeed are also supposed to be finishing their manuals
real soon now, for the TopSpeed that sits under Clarion v2. The down side of
their pitch is you HAVE to buy Clarion - we want them to have it work under
the Clarion Demo package, as Modula-2, and if their Clarion is that good.
everyone will upgrade their Modula-2's to include Clarion :-)

 Any firm info on this area ?

The resource kit which is available now, contains enough information
to be able to work with Modula-2 (and C/C++/Pascal) including access
to Windows API, (standard) TopSpeed libraries and the Clarion runtime
system itself. There is also support for the database drivers supplied
with Clarion (so you can use them from your favourite language).

Best regards,

Do you also have to buy Win95 or WinNT?  Will Clarion run
under OS/2?

Not that it matters all that much, I suppose.  I haven't yet
seen any convincing reason why I should need Clarion ...
unless the pricing is set up in such a way that the price
of Clarion with M2 is comparable to the price of a reasonable
M2 compiler alone.

Another question, now that I think of it: does anyone know what
the disk space overhead is, for a Clarion that I'll never use
except to launch M2?  There seems to be a new trend in Windows
applications where software vendors are trying to break the
100MB barrier; if that happens it would be a definite put-off.

(The last time I asked such questions, it seemed that the
beta-testers knew the answers but were sworn to secrecy.
I haven't checked lately to see whether it's still a secret.)
