What Is RAMSES Extras?

RAMSES Extras extends the ordinary release of RAMSES (Fischlin 1991 ). It is a collection of tools, utilities, and some less frequently used library modules nick named AuxLibExtra.

Most importantly, RAMSES Extras features the Modula-2 Mode for the great text editor Alpha (formerly AlphaX and Alpha (archived former home page), downloadable from here).
