Hi.....


I have an Amiga A500 1 meg and would like to program in M2 on it.  However
I am at a bit of a loose end as to which one to use.  The options seems to be
as follows:

Use the PD on FISH something or other ( anyone know ?????)
Buy M-2 Developers by M2S ( rough price 110 uk sterling )
Buy Benchmark M2          ( ----------''--------------- )
Wait to see if HiSoft (uk) license a US Modula 2 (currently rumoured)

Questions:
1: What is The PD one like (M2Amiga??????) and do you need an Amiga.lib?
2: Which is better M-2 Developers or Benchmark
3: Does anyone know which/if etc the one HiSoft is trying to license is
   and how it compares with the above?
4: And lastly When is the new Douglas Adams book coming out????
   ( I know its not really Modula 2 but most of this letter is.)


Thank you
