Jeff, Harry gave you the line on M2S and benchmark. Modula 2 is still alive in Europe,as I understand it, and has been enhanced via the Oberon standard (Wirth's next generation of the Pascal line). A+L AG, Daderiz 61,CH-2540 Grenchen is the name and address of the supplier of same. Cost is $249 for the editor/compiler/library/linker/make and other utilities. Source level debugger which includes a dissassembler and xref tool is another $165. Shipping is free (at least it was when I contacted them in late 91-early 92). I have not actuallyseen the package, just heard about it from some european freinds and the material the company sent me in response to a request for info. Another option for you may be to get Hi-Soft Pascal which I have heard good things about. I've always had this secret impossible dream that Martin Taillefer would finish the M2 and Ada compilers he was working on for Oxxi before he went to work for CBM. But alas, they are keeping him all to themselves :^{ wmc – via Autopilot!
