I read somewhere (and I have no Idea where) that Tom Demarco was
President/Chairman of a Modula2 users group (of some type).
Questions:
Did anyone else read this same information somewhere?
Is there a Modula2 users group of national scope?

Tom DeMarco is a member of the board (not president) of the Modula-2 Users' Association (MODUS). Membership is on an "academic year" basis: if you join now, your membership starts with issue 8 of the MODUS Quarterly, which went out last fall. The extra $10 outside North America covers the cost of sending the Quarterly by air mail. Christopher T.

Regarding the MODUS announcement and application form - I hate to flame publicly, but I think it's time to do so. <flame on> I sent my check to Modus in August 1987. It was deposited some time in September. I have yet to receive _anything_ from this group. Until someone from Modus makes a public statement about how long it takes to get anything going with them, I would be _very_ hesitant about signing up. It looks like a good group but their administration seems rather sluggish to say the least. I realize it's a volunteer group but I think there is some obligation to do more than deposit checks. <flame off> Michael Feldman, Professor Dept. of EE&CS The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 MFELDMAN@GWUVM.BITNET

MFELDMAN@GWUVM.BITNET (Mike Feldman) in message <INFO-M2%88021507413861@UCF1VM> has some hard words to say about the difficulty of getting service from MODUS. Since I'm the current adminstrator of the U.S. branch, I'd better begin by admitting that his complaints are justified. There were some problems with getting the membership database moved to my machine when I took over, etc. I still haven't gotten around to bringing up the label printing program. Rather than feed the net a line of excuses, I'll promise to report back here via another posting when I've gotten the backlog of stuff taken care of, which I hope will be within a couple of weeks.
