Refering to the fact that TDI wants $50 for their upgrade, that is
not the least of the problems.  I ordered and finally received the
"Upgrade".  I compiled some of their examples, etc.  When I tried to
compile my main program (>60k, w/lots of imports), the compiler
bombed.  I called them about the problem, they said to give them an
example of what causes the crash.  I traced the problem down to *16*
lines of code, a couple of type declarations, one reference to a
record variable, and POOF!  And of course every time I call them
they use the common, "It'll be another 5 weeks or so" tactic so well
loved by inaccessible companies. (For the upgrade *upgrade*!).

If you have version 2.20a, it *WILL* work under 1.2 (yet no access
to any of the new routines), but you can use RRDs, and test to see
if your code will run correctly under 1.2.

TDI Modula-2 Amiga is an otherwise fine product (the new manual is
decent too).
