The new release of the Logitech compiler (the one that just began shipping three weeks ago) includes an optimizer which prunes away unreachable code and performs the usual code optimizations. I understand it makes a huge difference. I do not know if Logitech's Turbo Pascal to Modula2 translator has also been improved in this new release but, if it has, then you have an additional reason to upgrade. ----- CSNet : maner@research1.bgsu.edu | CS Dept 419/372-2337 UUCP : {cbatt,cbosgd}!osu-cis!bgsuvax!maner | BGSU Generic : maner%research1.bgsu.edu@relay.cs.net | Bowling Green, OH 43403 Opinion : If you are married, you deserve a MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER weekend!
