> Wanted info about Modula-2 for ST.
I have both TDI and jefferson modula-2. They both have weakness. My main
problem with the TDI product is the cost of the library sources. But I have
used TDI for about 1.5 years and can say it's a solid product for systems
software and general use. It has a source debugger and a RSC for GEM.
Jefferson software's product includes all sources for librarys and comes
with a fairly robust compiler. It's a single pass job and works very quickly
but doesn't really have the ability to handle system programming completely
in modula-2. The big plus for JS modula is that you can link other languages
into it. The TDI linker is just TDI "as far as I know".
If a had the money about $140 I would buy the TDI developer set but if on a
budget the JS modula is really a good buy.
