  Yes, the Logitech Modula-2 has strings and getting the address of a variable
is also a standard M2 function.  In general, Modula-2 can do anything that
pascal can do with the following exceptions:

- Sets are limited to the number of bits in the wordsize of the machine.
- The basic file system allows only one input and one output file at a time.

  Also, the syntax is slightly different.

    However.  Modula-2 is easier to use than Pascal.  The syntax is much better
  and the modular structure speeds up developement time enormously.
    The module FileSystem allows you to open multiple random access files,
  but you will have to write your own input/output functions which isn't
  very difficult.
