Testimonials
"The Native XDS-x86 Win32 environment is virtually without peer as a platform
for programming professional Windows applications using the elegant, strongly-
protected, and very efficient ISO Modula-2 language. But we have also been
impressed with Excelsior's attention to compatibility with other platforms,
as exemplified by its multi-language DLL support, legacy Modula-2 Compatibility
Pack, and unique C language converter. The XDS program development suite
has proved to be intuitive, friendly, powerful, and reliable, with special
notice due to its fine project manager, debugger, and execution profiler. In
sum, we have been very pleased with the Native XDS-x86 Win32 programming environment
and the excellent support which Excelsior has consistently provided us."

"The XDS system is by far the most efficient and helpful that I
have ever used. It enables me to develop highly complex
software more rapidly and more comfortably than would be
possible with a less sophisticated system."
