A colleague (not on the net) is planning to use Modula-2 on his VMS VAX.
Can anyone recommend a good Modula-2 compiler for VAX VMS?  (both as host and
as target - though ability to target to standard 16-bit mocro's as well would
be useful).  "Good" means full language (including concurrency etc.),
no or VERY few bugs, reasonably efficient code produced, clear documentation; 
in other words a 'production' quality compiler.  UK support would be an 
advantage but not essential.

Apologies in advance if there's been a recent item on this - I've only just 
started looking at the .mod2 group so I may have missed something.

If anyone wants, and the replies are useful, I'll summarise back to the net.
