Modula-3 is a joint project of the Digital Systems Research Center and the Olivetti Research Center. A copy of the Modula-3 Report can be obtained by writing to Digital Equipment Corporation Systems Research Center 130 Lytton Avenue Palo Alto, California 94301 The Modula-3 report is SRC Research Report 31. A related SRC report, "Synchronization Primitives for a Multiprocessor: A Formal Specification" (Research Report 20), can be obtained from the same address. I got a copy of the Modula-3 report this week. I find the language very impressive. I have even been considering starting an under-the-desktop implementation, as it is unlikely I shall get to use one of the existing implementations any time soon.
