Leon has provided me with a Benchmark version of all of the source code
from the Programmer's Guide To The Amiga, translated from the original
TDI version of the code that Erv Thompson did way back when.  I understand
that the TDI version can be used almost untouched as an aid to learning
to use M2S, so now that there is a Lattice/Manx C compatible source/object
disk, and a Benchmark and a TDI/M2S Modula source/object disk, the
Programmer's Guide can now, I believe, be effectively used to learn
Modula or C.  Computer Discount and Briwall both carry the book and the
disk(s), as does DATAPATH  (POBox 1828, Los Gatos, CA 95031).
