[comp.lang.modula2] PC shop needs Modula advice

baldwin@usceast.UUCP (Chuck Baldwin) (07/24/88)

Like many professional programmers, Mike, Ross, and I had planned to
start our own consulting/programming business.  Well, leaving out
all the dull stuff in the middle, we're up and running now.

The problem is that all of us have our favorite tools, and of course
they don't fit together.  After a long bout of discussion, we decided
to move to a new environment, preferably one that will help out in
team-programming situations.

So, we've agreed to move to Modula-2, mostly because of the inter-module
consistency checks, as well as a few other nifties.

Since nobody here has any leads into the Modula world, we'd like to hear your
recommendations on compilers, screen managers, tutorial materials, reference
books, etc.

Of course, price is a consideration, but we do commercial production work
here, and the tools have to be up to the task.  If they aren't, our
money has been wasted.  So please, fire away.

                                       Thank you,
                                       Mitchell Morris
