ACADEMIC MODULA-2 SURVEY
------------------------
7 May 1989
More than two years ago Larry Mazlack conducted a survey of Academic
users of Modula-2 over the network. To the best of my knowledge he
moved to a different University and stopped updating and distributing
the report.
The Computer Science faculty here at SFSU are just as curious about
how Modula-2 is used at other Universities as they were two years ago.
To help satisfy their request for this type of information this is
a continuation of the "Mazlack" survey.
================================================================================
If you are currently teaching a university level class, or are about to do so,
or know someone who is, please make sure that a response is made to this survey.
Your cooperation in collecting current data will be appreciated.
The survey will be updated and reposted as additional information is
obtained. Any corrections and clarifications you provide will be
appreciated. Let's work at making the survey as accurate as possible.
Respond or urge others to respond.
Please send your survey responses in the following format:
(a) institution,
(b) course number,
(c) name and/or brief description,
(d) level of course (fresh, soph, junior, senior, grad, 1st yr, 2nd yr, etc.),
(e) total number of students enrolled in the course per year,
(f) text(s) used,
(g) compiler(s) used,
(h) hardware configuration(s),
(i) contact person(s),
(j) email address of contact person,
(k) postal address of contact person,
(l) miscl.
If you have information about a Modula-2 compiler, please supply the following:
