Just a comment on the buddha nature of Manx.

The old Manx compiler was so buggy as to be almost useless. I have not
run into a bug in the current version of the compiler yet.

On another note, I'll likely be having a look at the M2Amiga modula 2 compiler
soon. From what I've seen of their demo disk it looks pretty damn good. Good
enough to get a dedicated 'C' fiend like me to try it out. Would anyone like
a review?

If you can't wait for my review, it's on the shelves now.
