"Modula-2: a seafarer's guide and shipyard manual" (not exact perhaps.) who is the author and or publisher of this work. Also what are some other good texts on Modula-2? Thanks in advance, -James Colyer

Adding my two cents to the discussion of Modula-2 texts...my favorite Modula-2 text is "Modula-2 Programming" by John W.L. Ogilvie, McGraw-Hill 1985 ISBN 0-07-047770-1. I find it to be an excellent reference. It is easy to read, complete, and laced with examples. Along with chapters on the Modula-2, it contains comparisons of Modula-2 with several other languages (Pascal, Ada, C, BASIC, Fortran), a chapter on "Software Engineering with Modula-2", and a discussion of the shortcommings of Modula-2. I highly recommend it. Cheers, ---George -=- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | George M.

As a general M2 book with an _excellent_ discussion of PROCESSES, try Ford and Wiener, "Software Engineering with Modula-2". Wiley.

I recommend Beidler/Jackowitz Modula2, by PWS Publishers, as an text for introductory programming courses.
