The net articles refer to Modula-3, a Modula variant designed by Luca Cardelli,
Jim Donahue, Mick Jordan, Bill Kalsow, and Greg Nelson.  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.
