Western Washington University made that change in 1983 or 1984, following the lead of the University of Washington, who made the change a half-year earlier. For questions on how this has worker out, I would recommend contacting the Computer Science Department here at Western, by telephone or US mail. I learned under the old Pascal system, but now work exclusively in Modula. -- --SLO 8243274@wwu.edu uw-beaver!wwu.edu!8243274 n8243274@unicorn.wwu.edu
