Summary: Univ. of Utah using Modula-2 on Macs

The University of Utah is using Modula-2 on Macintoshes in our
Intro. to C.S. course. We are using a shareware package called 
MacLogimo Plus, available for $18.50 from 

	Timothy L. Myers
	614 North 1150 West
	Provo, Utah 84601

	He's also on CompuServe -- user number 74027,35.

MacLogimo runs on Macs with at least 512k RAM and two 800k floppies,
and that's the configuration of our instructional machines. It will
even run on a Mac II (all except the debugger).

MacLogimo suffers from a crude, unMacish user interface, but has 
caused no serious problems in two quarters of teaching.

The $18.50 buys you an unlimited educational site license -- you 
can give away unlimited copies to students as long as it's for
educational purposes only.

One other Modula-2 compiler that might be suitable for minimal
hardware situations is the one sold by

	TDI Software
	10410 Markison Road
	Dallas, TX 75238

It costs $89.95 for the student version.

---

We have not used TML or SemperSoft Modula-2 because these require
the MPW, running with 1Meg or more of RAM and a hard disk.
