I also am very impressed with Modula-3, and discouraged by the lack of an implementation. Might there be enough Modula-3 fans on the net to make feasible a Gnu-like cooperative development effort? We could beg the question of target machines by developing a Modula-3-to-C translator, like the AT&T C++ translator, cfront. I would certainly be willing to donate a few of my (increasingly scarce) hours to such a project. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc. campbell@bsw.com 120 Fulton Street wjh12!redsox!campbell Boston, MA 02146
