I just got off the phone talking to Oregon Software about their
intended July release of M-2 for Sun3 workstations. It's currently in
beta test and they're looking for beta test sites. Anyone interested?
They will have symbolic debugging -- their own and hooks for
dbx/dbxtool. They are also boasting a 90-day money-back guarantee
which hopefully is indicative of the quality of their products. My
call was basically to determine availability, so if you want more info
you can call them yourself: 800-874-8501.

Sun's 2.0 release of Modula-2 is fantastic. The compiler includes a bunch of unix library modules including I/O, ioctls, and access to system stuff. It has support for floating point hardware, uses Sun's optomizer, dbxtool, has a make-file generator, etc. It is the best Modula-2 I've coded in. The demo SCCS project which comes with the compiler is a great example of how to integrate M2 in a unix environment. It's also a useful software engineering tool. The demo project is a module-dependency analyzer which prints a graphic based on import lists. I won't comment on the extensions Sun has made to the language because we don't use them :-). The product is relatively mature, and less buggy than one would expect. I know nothing about OMSI's new product, but I can highly recommend Sun's M2 compiler. -Mitch -- -Mitchell F.
