Mr. Myers,

I am reading the Modula-2 echo from fidonet, as stated in my previous message.  Fidonet is the network of private BBS's round the world which carries all sorts of interesting echo's much like your UUCP.

The Modula-2 echo is brought to us (I believe) by a fellow up in Portland, Oregon. He has the appropriate gateway software which allows you and I to communicate.  We DO NOT get comp.lang.hardware.everthing.else, so file transfers are out of the question.

Since my first request March 13th, Mr Videki has released his compiler. I believe it has been captured and will be available for distribution here on the Fidonet relatively soon.

Please bear with us.

Jim
