Can anybody give me a quick rundown on available Modula-2 compilers? My 
impressions are that TDI is defunct (or close to it), Benchmark is good for
the money, and M2Sprint is flashy and maybe overpriced. If I go with Benchmark,
are the extra libraries needed? I will be using it for expected school work,
and will probably continue to use Lattice C for my own work.

How about good books on Modula-2? I've heard that Wirth is Wirthless, but this
is from somebody that thinks the same way about the language as a whole.

						       Thanks,
