I, too, used Logitech's Modula-2 for programming, and then wanted to write a MS-Windows application in Modula-2. I recalled seeing an ad for Stony Brook Software / Forest Road / Wilton, New Hampshire 03086 in some issue of Dr. Dobbs in approximately October '87 which announced windows support. They sent a crippled version of the compiler, and a windows demo program in response to my specific questions about 'Does it really support MS-windows.' At that time, March '88, they were estimating having the entire library of windows calls out in June. Their price for the demo is $10. I thought that the price, nearly $350 for compiler, environment, and all the source was steep, but with JPI and the FST (shareware) compilers competing, perhaps this has dropped some.
