- We were using this program while I was at the University of Utah. While it
- seems to work well for pascal, we had problems using it with Modula-2 code.
- It seems to suffer from trying to treat Modula syntax as Pascal syntax and
- having problems when the semantics are different. I HAVE used it with some
- success but quickly droped back to a Modula-2 compiler due to limitations.
- Just wish I had a Modula compiler for OS-9 myself.
