Folks,
HELP! HELP! HELP!
We have a bargain basement Modula compiler, which has proven to be
worth every penny. (It is dying a horrible death trying to compile some
programs). Since courses are being taught using this compiler, this is not a
desirable occurance.
It is M2VMS VAX/VMS Modula-2 produced by the Fachbereich Informatik,
Universitat Hamburg/Frankfurt. And when it dies it supposedly dies on a
protection violation at line 38 of the compiler source. (The compiler is
itself written in Modula-2).
Has anybody any experience with this?
Does anybody know of a *good* VAX/VMS Modula-2 compiler?

Someone's views are expressed by my letter, if I ever run into them, I'm going
to ask them what I've been saying all these years. :-DMcGuire_Ed@GRINNELL.MAILNET.UUCP (12/15/86)
We have just installed LOGITECH Modula-2. Although I don't have any experience with it and so can't recommend it, I notice that it appears to operate consistently with other VAX languages, e.g. debugger support. It also appears to have symbol definition files for system services and RTL routines, etc. I had a problem with the installation, however. We don't sanction 3rd-party layered products installing themselves into SYS$SYSROOT. Therefore, I created a home directory on a different disk and installed there. The developers were kind enough to use logical names with a MOD facility prefix to find things, so the customization was easy enough.
