[comp.lang.modula2] Use of JPI for Teaching

COK2@MTS.DURHAM.AC.UK (04/05/89)

I am trying to get a feel for how much the JPI TopSpeed Modula-2
system is being used for the teaching of Modula-2.

If you are using the JPI system for teaching, please could you send me
a message indicating what your annual intake of students is.   Thanks.

Also, could the person who posted the mailing about use of compilers
in educational establishments please mail it to me again because I have
lost my copy.   Once again thanks.

There has recently been some correspondence about JPI TopSpeed Modula-2.

The package from Workman & Assoc in Pasadena Ca. (818-791-7979) seems to
be real popular - they market the FTL Modula package thru DC Heath & Co
textbook publishers, as well as directly.  The textbook package has a
smaller manual, but identical code.  The teaching pachage disks are a bit
different in that they support the textbook examples (imagine - examples
that compile - what will they think of next!).

I purchased the standard package and am very happy with it.

The M2 compiler, linker, editor, manual, library code and support: $49.95
The editor source code (very interesting!) plus other examples:    $39.95
Advanced Programmers kit with profiler, code trimmer, advanced
debugger                                                           $39.95

Note that this is the only (that I know of) multi-system package - MS/PC-DOS,
Atari, and a subset on CP/M-80.  Code that does not use implementation-
specific stuff will compile on any of the three.

I have no financial interest in Workman & Associates, just a satisfied user.

PS - they have a price break if you purchase more than 1 package at a time.
I.e. M2 compiler & esitor source, or all three gets a good break.

Let me know how things go....
