The new release of the Logitech compiler (the one that just began
shipping three weeks ago) includes an optimizer which prunes away
unreachable code and performs the usual code optimizations.  I
understand it makes a huge difference.  I do not know if Logitech's
Turbo Pascal to Modula2 translator has also been improved in this
new release but, if it has, then you have an additional reason to
upgrade.
