Ok...

|C               Manx		5.?		Good
|                Lattice	5.10		Good
what's about Dice, PDC,et.al. ?

|Modula-2        Benchmark			Good-Very Good
|		M2Sprint			Good
|		TDI				Fair-Yuck
		M2Amiga		3.30		Good (at least the german version,
						dunno 'bout an english manual)
|Pascal 	PD                              OK
|		Metacomco			Yuck
		KickPascal ? I thinks it's 2.0 now ?!?	OK (ditto like M2Amiga)
|		PCQ
 [...]
Oberon		from AL+L (like M2Amiga)	seems to be Good (ditto like M2Amiga)

Cluster		"commercial"  not released yet	???

(Cluster is a "combination between M2 & C"; incl. Environment; first
testers say: seems to be good, but horrible busy-waiting (40% of CPU-Time
are wasted at waiting for user-input :-( )
