Hi, just thought I'd signal my presence. I'm the main dude behind
M2Sprint. I've left M2S due to significant differences between the
management and I on financial matters. M2Sprint has just been sold to a
new company called Preferred Technologies. Development of the debugger
and of version 2.0 of the product has been stopped ever since I left,
in early October.

I'm currently working oanother programming environment for the Amiga
which should cause quite a stur in the market when it comes out in
spring. I can't say more about this for the moment.

At present, M2Sprint is in fact the best product for Modula-2 development.
It is both significantly faster than BM-2, and generates MUCH smaller
programs. The product comes with MANY more library modules, and you get
all the sources to these as well. The editor is vastly superior
to the editor that comes wi BM-2 or M2Amiga, and is in fact in
many ways superior to editors sold as stand-alone products such as
TxEd+ or CED Pro.

The problem with M2Sprint is the price. It's too high, and it's one
of the reasons I left M2S.
