- ================================================================================
-
- This is an update to V1.3, and contains bug fixes and some new features
- (see docs/whatsnew.doc).
-
- There is a mailing list for the compiler, see docs/maillist.doc
-
- A debugger is under development, a very simple prototype was done before
- christmas, and it worked very well. However I have not done any work on it
- since xmas because I've been very busy. When it does get finished it may be
- released as shareware.
-
- The second part of the distribution: the dice archive, has not be changed since
- since the V1.3, so no need to download it! You can use you old modula/dice
- directory (if you havent already deleted it :( ).Ive been looking around for
- the latest version of freeware dice, and may update the supplied dice
- distribution if i can find a newer version. If you are still using 1.1 then
- make sure you download the second archive because it was updated during
- the 1.1->1.2->1.3 updates.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Turbo Modula-2 is not public domain, all files (except the DICE archive)
- are (C) 1994 by Amritpal Mann. The system may only be distributed unmodified
- and without profit.
-
- The compiler is of commercial quality: its fast, generates small & fast code,
- doesn't eat too much memory and the error reports are normally very accurate
- and clear.
-
- This is the only freeware implementation of Modula-2 for the amiga that I am
- a aware of (theres one on Fish 23, buts its not serious).
-
- Turbo should run on any Amiga computer (1.5M+Hard-Disk recommended).
- If you dont already have Matt Dillon's DICE system installed on your hard-disk
- then the first thing to do is to extract the DICE archive (dice/dice.lha) using
- the dice/m2extract script.
-
- >cd dice
- >execute m2extract
-
- To install type:
-
- >assign MODULA: <dir> ; <dir> = directory where you unarchived Turbo
- >execute MODULA:s/startup ; assuming you're using the supplied version of dice
-
- If youre not using the supplied version of dice then you should modify
- the s/startup script.
-
- If you have any problems, feel free to Email.
-
- To compile & link a program:
-
- >m2b Module.mod
-
- Note that some Amigas (mainly some A3000/A4000) cannot use the compiler
- pointer checking option ('-p'). If you get bogus 'ILLEGAL POINTER' requesters
- while running any of your (or my example) programs then you should replace
- the '-p' in the MODULA:M2OPTS file with '-P' and then recompile.
- If you still get spurious errors then remove the flag completely.
-
- You are advised to read all the files in docs/ before using any of the programs.
