Well, I finally got my Personal Pascal ver 2.0 and TDI Modula II ver 3.0 in the
mail today (the same day!  what a bummer of a week to have three midterms!).
When I opened the TDI package, I found three disks, a bill, an invoice, and a
single sheet of paper titled "special intructions for release 3.00b"--no
new manual.  Was there supposed to be an update for the manual?  Considering
the number of errors (mostly stupid typos) I've run across in the ver 2.0
manual, I was really hoping for an update.  I think the little flyer they sent
out describing the ver 3.0 upgrade had more documentation than the upgrade
itself!  Thank goodness I have a copy of that flyer....  (I suppose I'll TDI
instead of waiting for responses from the net).   PP looks okay, but I haven't
put it to the test yet--we'll find out this weekend when I do a data structures
programming assignment (buddy system, anyone?).  I haven't decided yet whether
I like the new manual format or not--it is almost twice as big, but with the
new typestyle/size, I'll bet it doesn't have 25%-50% more info in it than the
old one (the new font is much easier to read late at night when your eyes are
about to glue themselves shut).  I do like the new editor (at least what I've
seen of it).  Believe it or not, it scrolls the text much faster than their
old TOS-based editor (another funny thing I noted--if you use the mouse and
 hold down on the scroll arrows, it autoscrolls faster than holding down a
cursor key...).  One reservation with the system  is that I have this awful
feeling it's not going to work at all well with my 512 k 520 (i.e. no 202k
RAM disk).  This is especially hard to swallow now that I'm not getting my
Mega 2 ( :( )--oh well, time to buy a RAM board...
