Common Modula-2 Questions

The Modula-2 support is available for the following controllers - Micro-Module, Micro-Midget, Mini-Module, 307-Module and FlashModule. The support is provided by an interpreter on the controller card so it can be used on all versions of DOS or Windows.

The compiler complains that a procedure is not known when it is defined further down the program.

The Modula-2 compiler is a one pass compiler and does not support forward referencing of parameters or variables.
