I'm looking for a Modula-Compiler for the CP/M-80 operating system.
Because I am very satisfied with Turbo-Pascal, I had high hopes
for Turbo-Modula, but recently someone told me, that Turbo-Modula
only allows a maximum of 16 elements in a set. Is there anyone with
some experience with this compiler who can tell me if this really is
true?
I also like to know, what other people think about the minimum number
of elements in a set, so that sets are really useful. For a while I had
to live with a Pascal-Compiler that allowed 64 elements. I remember
some programs, that I couldn't write the way I wanted, because of this
limitation. I think, there should be at least 128 elements.
What do you think about this?
