[comp.lang.modula2] Modula-2 PLUS

gillies@uiucdcsp.cs.uiuc.edu (03/30/88)

I am looking for an article on the Modula-2 PLUS language developed at
DEC SRC (Systems Research Center).  I saw this article sometime in the
last year, in a recent article (journal or magazine, I do not know).
The article described extensions for monitors, and also extensions for
exception handling.

If anyone knows where the article appeared, I would be very grateful.
I have spent 2 days searching in dozens of yearly (december-issue)
indexes, and in computing reviews, and in in the '85 and '86 ACM
literature index.

If anyone knows of another article on Modula-2 PLUS, that would also
be fine.

Also, if anyone knows some slick library techniques to help me solve
this problem, please tell me.  I have exhausted all other avenues,
except to wait for the '87 or '88 issue of the ACM index.  Thank you
very much...

Probably the best source of information is the following:

P. Rovner, R. Levin, J. Wick, "On extending modula-2 for building large
integrated systems", DEC Systems Research Center Tech. Rept. No. 3,
January 11, 1985.

The address of DEC SRC is:

130 Lytton Avenue,
Palo Alto
CA 94301

Best of luck,

Harry

You can get it as tech report from DEC Systems Research Center in
Palo Alto.  It's called "On Extending Modula-2 for buildind Large
Integrated Systems" by Paul Rovner, et. al.  DEC SRC's address
is

    Digital Systems Research Center
    130 Lytton Ave.
    Palo Alto, Ca.
    94301

A version of the report appeared in IEEE software, the special
issue on Modula-2.  Sorry, I don't remember the date.

        Cheers,

            Geoff
