Well, all are right and all are false. The actual Workbench is only
internally called 1.3.2, on the label it is still only 1.3. If you want to
examine a specific WB disk, call version from the Workbench menu or type
the version command in CLI/Shell. The first released 1.3 version gives
you 34.20 for Workbench, the "1.3.2" gives you 34.28. It is highly
recommended that you insist on getting the latter one.

There are a bunch of Modula-2 compilers, like M2Amiga, Benchmark Modula-2
and others. Of one of these (I think M2Amiga, don't beat me) there is a
Public Domain version (with slight restrictions) on the Fred Fish series.
In this series you will also find PD versions of Prolog, no commercial
product known to me here yet.
