I am looking for a good Modula-2 compiler for the Macintosh, ideally one with good toolbox interfaces and capable of running without a local hard disk (i.e., a Think Pascal-type environment, not an MPW implementation or similar). Any good ideas? Philip Machanick

MacMETH from ETH Zeurich. It might still be available from Modula Corp at (801) 224-8999 for around $100. It works on floppies. 2. A public domain MacLogimo Plus from Project Modula, P.O. Box 2137, Provo, Utah 84603. $20 for five floppies sent by first class mail. If there is enough interest, I might be able to find an anonymous FTP site willing to distribute it. Since it is public domain, it is ideal for classroom use. Hope that helps, ++Tim ---------------- Tim Myers What are you looking here for? Read the header.

They have a student version for $39 that's being distributed by MacMillian Publishing Company. Let's see, (looking at my notes)... It's called the Metrowerks Modula-2 StartPak (TM). It's sold by Macmillans sales reps direct to the campus bookstore and professors.
