An open source Modula-2 library originally developed for DOS as PMOS but later ported and extended for OS/2 in a version referred to as PMOS/2. The library was originally written to aid in making it simpler to create multitasking software for real-time and embedded applications, but it contains a heap of code that can be useful for other software such as a preprocessor, windowing and screen graphics modules, device drivers, and utility modules.
It is developed primarily for TopSpeed Modula-2 targeting both DOS and OS/2 but it also has partial support for the old shareware FST Modula-2 compiler for DOS, portions of it have also been used with later ISO Modula-2 compatible compilers on both OS/2 and Microsoft Windows.
Version
- PMOS/2 v2014 (2014-08-28)
- PMOS v2.2 (1995-03-23/2004-07-28)
- Originally released in 1995 and that is the date author references as the release date, but actually he made some minor bugfixes to the library since and the later date is the last known version, you should download the package from the Peter Moylans website rather than an archive site since some of them have older copies.
