4834.1Does that make you a CLIENT?SDOGUS::WILLIAMSTOPGUNThu Jun 20 1991 16:5718
    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.
