Mazlack) Distribution: net Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 67 Keywords: Modula-2, courses, survey Xref: watmath net.lang.mod2:274 net.cse:552 A little while ago, I asked for information about where and how Modula-2 was or was about to be used in academic courses. I didn't get very many responses. However, they are summarized below. I suspect that there are more. If you are currently using Modula-2 in a class, or about to do so, I would appreciate hearing from you. I'll update this summary and repost it if I get ANY additional information. Please send it to me in the following format: (a) institution, (b) course number, name (c) level of course (freshman, soph, junior, senior, grad, etc.), (d) text used, (e) compiler used, (f) hardware configuration, (g) contact person. ...

Next time I do this table, I'll put down the specific level that people tell me. The information that I have on the compilers is: (a) Hamburger: packaged with the Wirth book. Available from: ??? (b) Logitech: runs on IBM PC's. Available from: ??? (c) Powell: runs on VAXs, either UNIX or VMS. Available from: Michaiel L. Powell Digital Equipment Corp. Western Research Laboratory 100 Hamilton Ave Palo Alto, CA 94301 I'll cheerfully update the compiler information, as I get it. Also, next time around, I'll provide fuller bibliographic data on the texts.
