After announcing the Modula-2 repository before the beginning of the year, we have been silent. Unfortunately, there is a reason. The various repositories at simtel20 have coordinators who are paid. The contract for the person for our support has been mired in the bureaucracy. We are promised that the support will be available Real Soon Now. Please be patient. There are many bulletin boards (such as the {source) about which have Modula-2 SIGs. I would like to solicit info-modula-2 folk who have access to them to digest the interesting traffic (eliminating the uninteresting or unacceptable such as blatant advertisements which arpanet disallows). If you can do this for us, please drop me a message. If there are multiple people with access to the same source, I will put you together to share the work. Finally a question. Has anyone used the new Workman Modula-2 compiler or looked at the source of the text editor? Opinions? Thanks for all. If you have any questions on the repository, let me know. Tom.
