I have the Logitech package (it runs for CPM-86 only, not MSDOS
at this time; MSDOS version later, they say).  I thnk it's
pretty good.  I don't much care for $500 price tags on anything,
but it isn't out of line with what others charge.
	There is NO FLOATING POINT.  I believe they intend to
give you the floating point when they have it done, Real Soon
Now; it will be at first for the 8087, meaning that you'll need
an 8087.
	The Modula version distributed just now has NO
PRIORITIES implemented; they're simply ignored.  There is the
"US extension" package, including the ability to build a string
by concaatenating char.
	I find Logitech and Pierluigi Zappacost its President to
be Good Guys, and they seem to honor their word.  I'd appreciate
reports for anyone who buys their Modula.  I like mine.
