I do not want to start a war here on comparisons of compilers, but a
comprehensive answer would be greatly appreciated.
I want to buy a compiler, and am interested in a few important capabilities...

1> random file structures provided.
2> easy disk directory access.
3> well developed support modules like time and date, random numbers, etc.
4> if it is out there, graphics included would be a key factor.

Any responses can be discussed here or mailed to the above address. Oh yeah,
I am talking about IBM AT compatible compilers for Modula2 only.

Thanx,
Brian
