One is a German public domain compiler; it is available from archive-server%panarthea.ebay@sun.com . Send a mail message there with the word help on a single line to get more info. I have never worked with it, so I cannot say much about it (should be cheap, anyway). Current Version is 1.4, whatever that means. SPC Modula V2.01 is a pretty decent commercial compiler from Germany. It includes a graphical shell, an editor, very extensive libraries, many useful utilities, a German Modula 2 - course, a German online help - system and an easy to program window library (compared to GEM, anyway!). It also contains some annoying features, such as restricting the size of data structures to 32Kbytes. I'm not sure wether an English handbook exists; module documentation is in English. The address is: Advanced Applications Vinczena GmbH Sperlingsweg ?? (don't remember the house number at the moment) D - 7500 Karlsruhe There is one other compiler I remember offhand; it is Megamax Modula 2. That one got a pretty favourable review in a German ST magazine recently; if there is interest, I'll hunt up the issue and post the address where to get it from.
