I just picked up Modula-2 by TDI and I'm very excited about
it from my first impression!  I got it at Instant Software
in the Nashua Mall here in New Hampshire for $69.95.

It's about time somebody (namely Dr. Niklaus Wirth) put 
together a program development language that makes good
sense!  This language is what I've only dreamed about
in the past.  It's structured programming at it's finest.

Unfortunately for me, I don't have the development package
from Atari, and therfore will be fumbling for a while until
I can understand the AES and VDI interfaces.

Is anyone aware of documentation that exists or may come
out soon on the AES and VDI interfaces?

I highly recommend Modula-2 for anyone who really wants fast
executable code and wants to harness the power of the 68000.

It's a GEM of a product, and well WIRTH the price!
