I know a pretty good Modula2 compiler in Germany. It is SPC-Modula
(current version V1.42). Included are a graphical shell, an editor,
several utilities (a filer, a printer, an online manual, a course in
Modula, ...), all of Wirth's standard modules, a post-mortem-
debugger, GEM libraries, a window system and a few things more.  The
produced code is not as fast as that of Turbo C, but fast
nonetheless.  The handbook and the online manual and language course
are in German, the (more important) module documentation in English.
As far as I know, the English documentation is being worked on. It is
a good product (I use it quite a lot).  Its main drawback is a
restriction of data type size to 32KBytes.  All in all, it is quite a
professional product. The price is about DM 400 (something like
US$ 220).  As far as I know, it is the official ATARI Modula in
Germany.

Selling this product is:

Advanced Applications Viczena GmbH
Sperlingsweg 19
D - 7500 Karlsruhe
F.R.G.
phone: +49 721 700912
fax  : +49 721 786572

I think they might be quite willing to sell their product to the
US or anywhere else.

Disclaimer : I don't work for them, I just happen to know the boss
personally.
