The initial relase of Oregon Modula-2 for the SUN-3 started shipping
on August 30, 1988.

Oregon Modula-2 includes:

o  The Source-level Oregon Debugger.
o  Conforms to the emerging ISO standard.
o  Extensions include packed records, packed arrays, multidimensional
   open array parameters, aliasing of procedure names, reference
   parameters, and FORWARD directive.
o  Supports the MC68881.
o  Optimizing compiler with global register allocation, constant folding,
   dead code elimination, short-circuit evaluation of conditional statements,
   expression targeting, array index simplification, constant propagation,
   loop invariant removal, branch-tail merging, common sub-expression
   elimination, and generation of in-line 68881 code.
o  Benchmarks are 2325 Dhrystones per second, 1.2 seconds per Whetstone,
   and 17 seconds per Sieve.
o  Small library sizes means a minimum amount of code is linked in.
o  System independent file handling implementation, for more portable
   Modula-2 source code.
o  Run time libraries include: Initialization & Termination, Coroutine
   support, (including error handling), Floating point emulation, and
   Long integer arithmetic.
o  Other Library support: Dynamic memeory, String Manipulation, String
   Conversion, Triginonmetric Functions, I/O, and User Termination.
o  Oregon Modula-2 gives users complete User Error Control, all possible
   errors are routed through the IOTRANSFER routine.

Future versions are scheduled for the VAX/VMS/ULTRIX/UNIX, and the 
iAPX86/Xenix in native and cross-compiler versions.

Oregon Modula-2 on the SUN-3 is priced at $2300 for a single user
license, $5250 for a six unit LAN, and $13,000 for any number of nodes
on a single LAN.  Call 800-874-8501 for more information.
