The basic package includes an editor (which many people including me 
don't like very much, but does have a very nice "find next compilation
error" command), compiler, linker, library, Modula-2 desktop, and 
Modula-2 options desk accessory (the latter lets you set search paths
among other things). The library includes GEM/VDI interface.

The developer's version adds a number of disassemblers, a simple
post-mortem debugger, source file cross-referencer, a "high-level"
GEM package, source code for a ramdisk and printer spooler in M2,
and Megamax's outstanding resource editor. The latter alone, if
you do any GEM programming, is worth the developer's price.

The system overall is pretty good (there are a few warts on some
of the programs, and there are still reputed to be a fair number
of bugs in the library, though I've not encountered very many). 
TDI is a pretty responsive company, and overall I recommend the 
product.
