Modula-3 is a reworking of Modula-2+ undertaken by Olivetti's Software Technology Research Laboratory and DEC's Systems Research Center in Palo Alto, with the approval of Profesor Wirth. It includes provisions for signalling and handling of exceptions, controlling concurrency and providing a type-safe discipline for managing storage, as well as tidying up the syntax. It therefore provides an industrial strength language for systems programming (enough of Mesa to be useful but not so much as to become Ada, if you see what I mean). - Peter Robinson.

Oberon provides for Type extension which facilitate managing storage as well as making object oriented programming easier. How does Modula-3 relate to Oberon? Which came first? Is Modula-3 available to educational organizations?

With some minor changes I have ported the DEC Modula 3 compiler to a Sun 3, but there are still some problems with threads. Is anyone also working on this? Frank Lancaster, fl@tools.uucp

I have read in the recent BYTE magazine that the source to Modula-3 is available. Being new to Usenet, and unix in general, I would appreciate any help in locating these files. How is source code distributed on Usenet? As text files, or in some type of archive? Thanks for any help!

Randy, I would love to carry the Modula-3 source on my board, The Black Box, down here in Houston. I am 1:106/601, and it is a HST/V32/V42/V42bis. I am currently involved in a large Modula-2 project, and would love to have a compiler with source!
