ins_armr@jhunix.UUCP (Rudy M Rumohr) (04/11/86)
I was wondering if anyone has heard about products from the Modula Corporation.
They had advertisements a couple of months running in Byte in the latter half
of last year, and I haven't heard a whole lot about them or any of their
products since. They purported to offer Modula-2 compilers for the Apple //-
series, the IBM-PC, and Mac, and also supposedly sold the Lilith. They were
based in Provo, Utah, I believe...
Since I am looking for a Modula-2 compiler for my //c, I would like to know if
these guys are still around, and if anybody has used any of their stuff. As I
understood, their compiler was only $90.00!
Also, if anybody knows any other Modula-2 compilers for Apple, if you'd be so
kind as to drop me a line...
As always, thanks in advance!

They sent out some Beta test copies a year or so ago, but I think their efforts are fizzling. They told me (6 months to a year ago) that porting the compiler to an Apple // was a 'real hard problem'. Pecan is it, as far as I've heard. (They're selling Volition's modula-2 p-code compiler, which presumably will work with the 6502 (DOS 3.3 & ProDOS 'soon) native code generator. It would be nice if it were compatible with Apple UCSD Pascal) -- - Ralph W.
