I've been using JPI TopSpeed v2 for about 3 weeks now and really like it.
It's definitely worth upgrading to.  However, I've discovered a couple
problems and wondered if anyone else may have solved them already.

1)  The PMD module in the Extended Edition is missing its central routine. 
    The documentation describes a routine to call to generate a program image
    dump, but that routine isn't in the PMD module.  And when I try to
    recompile the PMD module the compiler complains that I'm missing some
    files.  Did JPI screw up or did I?

2)  I wrote a routine with the JPI assembler to switch to the VGA 50 line
    mode.  It compiles fine and I made a .DEF file for it and declared the
    routine as public in the asm file, but when I try to call it from a M2
    file (into which it is imported) the compiler complains that it can't
    find the assembler module.  It even ASSEMBLES it when I make the M2
    part and then says it can't FIND it!!!

I greatly appreciate any help with these problems.  And I sure would like to
hear about any problems others are having.

Thanks!

Ernest
