[comp.lang.modula2] VMS Modula 2

Sorry for what is surely a repeat question, but can someone recommend
a M2 compiler for the VAX/VMS system?

I've used the Logitech VMS/Modula-2 at our installation (version 3.5-0, I
believe) for nearly a year now and have had little problem.  The compiler
has nearly all of the system calls, and many of the library routines pre-
defined for the user.  There's also fairly complete documentation with the
package in VAX/VMS Runoff format.  My only real wishes about the package
would be that they pre-defined more of the library routines (the lib$
routines, for example) and that they would come up with a way to leave
optional library and system call arguments, well, optional.  (I know, I
know ... not very modula-2ish, maybe, but it'd sure be nice)
