Hi,

thanks for trying out gm2 - we need new users to road test it and
uncover oddities such as:

$ gm2 foo.mod

not compiling the module first.  You are right it goes against the gcc
method - so on reflection - I'll give this some thought and modify 'gm2'
to compile the module before performing the link.

Once gm2 1.0 is released I propose to spend time grafting the Modula-2
front end onto a branch of gcc near the head - this should ensure that
gcc knows about *.{def,mod} files.

regards,
Gaius
