| MAG,
First if you are a computer science/language person and want a formal
review, get the 3rd edition of Wirth's book, "Modula-2". If you want a
more flowery/fun/"let's go sailing" description then look in the
Bibliography of the manual and you should find several references to
good Modula-2 books.
You might check out CIS and look for files in OTHER LANGUAGES lib in
AmigaTech forum with keyword MODULA-2.
Biggest problem I had was the array problem. Arrays are defined from
0..n and even though these are ARRAYS of CHAR, Wirth wants them NULL
terminated. So if you need 10 chars, you need an ARRAY OF CHAR [0..10]
!NOT! ARRAY OF CHAR [0..9]. ELSE it is pretty straight forward.
Good luck! Mail me if you have problems or need help.

| Thanks Clark, I have some Fortran, Basic and a little PASCAL
programming skills, I mainly wanted something better than that
yucky Amiga Basic... I hope I can get better aquainted and become
hopefully an experienced/Advanced with the Modula-2. I will certainly
keep you in mind when I'm bogged down.
