Well, someone told me about four months ago that the functionality of direct access to absolute machine addresses in the Modula-2 standard was not implemented in Benchmark, for example. It also has a really obnoxious 64K limit on single data item sizes, utter nonsense on a multi-magabyte machine. Other than that, and lack of any news of a 2.0 upgrade, it is a really nice package.
