> Modula-2 is available for the RISC DECsystems and DECstations.

I am aware of the following vendor of Modula-2 for the DECstation under
Ultrix:

Gardens Point Modula
Queensland University of Technology
Brisbane, QLD
Australia

I know it is distributed by Albert Meier's company, A+L Vogt outside of
Zuerich, and possibly A+LM's subsidiary in the States.  I believe that they
have their (compatible) version for the Sun4 just about ready as well.

I just received my copy yesterday, and can play with it and report when I get
back from the WG13 do in Milton Keynes.  It is said to be quick and to produce
rather good code.  Unfortunately we don't have SPECmarks for M2 <grin>.
