   A year ago this last spring, a partner and I wrote a simple simulation
package using modula-2 processes to model the different devices in the 
simulation.  One process was responsible for maintaining pseudo-time
and the event queue.  Because processes can't be called or signaled
with parameters, we used mailboxes for interprocess communications.
All in all, it didn't work badly, although it was quite slow on an IBM
PC XT!

   The compiler was the Logitech Modula-2/86, version 1.0 or 1.1, I think.

   I think the sources may still be around somewhere on a floppy disk.
I can check, if you like.
