I have also heard very good things about JPI's product, but I have never
used it much.

My students, when I taught Modula-2, bought a $50 package from Logitech that
included a compiler, libraries, and a debugger (plus other assorted tools).
This is a very mature system, and the price is hard to beat.  I believe that
it is slower than some of the newer PC Modula-2 systems, JPI included.

I dealt with Romeo Simard, 1-800-231-7717 (the outside California number).
I was always very happy with the service I received. Many Modula-2 books now
include a card offering the $50 student compiler.
