There are also options to use Modula-2 to develop applications. 
The current rumor is that Stony Brook fully supports windows, and I
did get such a demo compiler and application from them.

I also heard that the JPI compiler will support windows.

A Shareware version of Modula-2 is available from Fitted Software Tools,
POB 867403, Plano, TX 75086 ($39 on acceptance.).  I don't think that 
this supports windows development, but it is a low risk way to see
if you can handle Modula-2.  Their bulletin board is 1-(214)-517-4629.

I would like to know the experiences of others who are developing
MS-windows using Modula-2.
