        We are looking at the possibility,in the future, of using
Modula-2.  The development environment will be Apollo workstations.

        I would like to know then if anyone knows of the various  merits
of the different Modula2 compilers for Apollos.

        One question before I go.  Are developers using Modula2 as a
prototyping tool for, if you will, Ada programming?  I guess
the reason why ask this is that there seem to be a number of rather
inexpensive Modula2 compilers available thus making this language more
accessible to more users.  Another thing is, or was, Modula2 intended
for the development of embedded real-time applications, much like Ada is and was?
        
        Feel free to either post to net or e-mail responses to me.


        Thanks in advance.
