I just tried this on the NEW M2Sprint Compiler from M2S, and got the
following results:

       8000H    -32768

I think the TDI compiler has a few bugs, but it doesn't matter now that the 
company is gone.

Commercial message follows, Hit n if you are not interested.


The M2Sprint Compiler is available for $225 (Until May 1, 1989 in the US,
and Until May 15, 1989 for International customers.  After that it's $385)

     From 
	M2S, Inc
	P.O. Box 550279
	Dallas, Texas  75355
	USA

I was one of the beta testers for this package, but also own the other 2
viable compilers (M2Amiga and Benchmark Modula2).

The M2Sprint package is unique in that it includes ALL the library sources
AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

If you have more questions, feel free to write me.
