[net.lang.mod2] Modula-2 Public Domain Repository at SIMTEL20

treid@MITRE.ARPA (Thomas Reid) (02/27/86)

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.
