In an upcoming issue of the Journal of Pascal Ada and Modula-2 an article
will be published that discusses many Modula-2 implementations, their
availability, their quality, their origin etc.
Addresses of contacts for all the compilers mentioned are included.

Watch for it.

P.S.
I am one of the authors.
