Folks,

        HELP! HELP! HELP!

        We have a bargain basement Modula compiler, which has proven to be
worth every penny.  (It is dying a horrible death trying to compile some
programs).  Since courses are being taught using this compiler, this is not a
desirable occurance.

        It is M2VMS VAX/VMS Modula-2 produced by the Fachbereich Informatik,
Universitat Hamburg/Frankfurt.  And when it dies it supposedly dies on a
protection violation at line 38 of the compiler source.  (The compiler is
itself written in Modula-2).

        Has anybody any experience with this?

        Does anybody know of a *good* VAX/VMS Modula-2 compiler?

Someone's views are expressed by my letter, if I ever run into them, I'm going
to ask them what I've been saying all these years. :-D
