That reminds me of when I was heavily into Modula-2 programming under
MS-DOS over a decade ago, using the Fitted Software Tools compiler; it
was a great implementation of Modula-2, and it was neat the way one
could bracket in-line assembly code with "ASM" (and ENDASM? it's been
a while, I forget the exact syntax) as part of any program or module,
without having to do any extra work. It worked great, that is, until
I discovered a bug in the compiler that only became obvious when
programs became very large with lots of modules, etc. :-( So much for
the largish library of modules I'd put together... ah well. Aside
from the bug, it was most fun I ever had programming, despite it being
under MS-DOS. Any other past/present Modula-2 hackers here?
