[ this is for all non M2Amiga owner.... to prevent them from starvation ]

First I took a look at the M2Amiga Demo Disk; I was impressed.
Then i bought M2Amiga; i'm excited !!!

The package consists of compiler, linker & a *nice,improved* MicroEmacs.
You can work either from Workbench or CLI, whatever you prefer.
(I personally prefer CLI.)
The manual is :-), but it's recomended to buy the official CA kernel
manuals for additional informations about kernel routines.

The compilation speed is abosultely great;  ----> @@@ ( TDI, ack ! )
about 20'000 lines / min. !!!

The linker seems not to be a linker, but a *fast* copy (append) utility...
( But the output produced was loadable !! )

The generated Code is fast, short and very efficient. Absolutely great
is the handling of Exceptions; if all programs on Amiga had been written
in M2Amiga your machine would crash 1 or 2 times / month...
If an exeception occur, there will no little red guru be displayed, M2Amiga
will put up a simple Requester. After hitting CANCEL, all allocated
memory will be given back, files and Windows closed (if opened
with the standard modula II library.

I couldn't detect any bugs. I think M2Amiga is the fastest programming
enviroment on the Amiga and recommend it to all Modula II users and
also to all C users ( hey men, give up this nasty C ).

     .. THIS ISN'T A COMMERCIAL POSTING, IT'S JUST MY OPINION ..
