Nope, sorry.  :-)

Yeah, a recent PD version has been plunged in the FishTank. Looks pretty nice,
includes includes, and few more tongue twisters. But version 2.0 of the
MetaComPost compiler is supposed to be rather bug free, and stuffed with a few
more features. It does not include includes through. Call the company for more
info, it is located on the same tiny island after all.  :-)

But how about switching to Modula-2?

Neat. Try out a Lucas board though.
