	Ultrix-32 comes with a very nice modula-2 compiler (the one
done by Powell at decwrl).  Ultrix-32m does not, probably for the same
reason you don't get Franz Lisp in the 32m distro:  inadequate uVAX
disk space.  Perhaps you'll be as lucky with modula-2 as some folks
apparently have been with Lisp:  a licensed 32m site is permitted to
copy Franz from any other Ultrix-32 site; see if you can do that first
with modula-2.  If none is available, try contacting DEC support --
they may end up being nice guys about it and send you a set of
floppies or a TK50 with the m2 code on it.
