Dat was me - poor old me :-)) One thing that modula-2 is VERY 
good at is the selection of library imports, so instead of importing 
the entire standard IO block, when you will only use WriteString 
and WriteLn, the compilation to .exe for Hello World is about 3k - a 
very good idea - can C do that?

Other than that for modula-2 it is dead and decrepid. But it does 
work on the 386's, and works even better on the PIII 550's. So 
rotating triangles with matrices, is possible with it for it to work at 
high speed - oh yeah, and I have to do a database for next week. 
Assignments don't you just love em. Modula-2 will be replaced with 
Java in 2 years (surprise surprise) over at the MMU.

Cheers
