You can order the Modula-3 Report from them at: 130 Lytton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 From the Capsule Review: "Modula-3 descends from Mesa, Modula-2, Cedar, and Modula-2+, and resembles Object Pascal, Oberon, and Euclid. A notable feature of this language family is the use of modules to delineate the separation between the implementation and the use of inerfaces; modules allow separate compilation without sacrificing the strong typechecking of languages like Pascal. Modula-3 supports object-oriented programming, garbage collection, exception handling, lightweight processes, and the isolation of unsafe features. It incorporates a new type system that is simpler, more uniform, and more powerful than those of its ancestors."
