Message-ID: <144@uw-beaver> Date: Sun, 9-Dec-84 23:32:42 EST Article-I.D.: uw-beave.144 Posted: Sun Dec 9 23:32:42 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 11-Dec-84 03:25:47 EST Sender: daemon@uw-beaver Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 23 From: ihnp4!politik!paul@uw-beaver.arpa (Paul Vixie) I ordered MacModula from Modula Corp in September; about mid-October I finally got a bit worried and called them. They said "the software guys found some bugs in the thing and decided to fix them before shipping. Do you want the current version as a beta-test?" I said "Yes," of course, and a few DAYS later the thing arrived in the mail. It has a non-disclosure agreement ("I promise to report bugs and stuff only to Modula Corp, so help me Wirth"); this seems odd but I will comply anyway-- Modula-2 is a neat language and these folks are doing nice (read: $90) things with it. I'm willing to help out. It can't hurt to mention, though, that this compiler was the thing that finally pushed me into an external floppy drive. They mention in the beta documentation that "when the real release happens (which we hope will be before the end of the year), you will get a copy of the binary and the documentation."
