Dear Info-Modula-2 list recipients, I have decided to give up administration of the list to concentrate on my academic courses. After September 15th, 1987, the list will have a new home. Your new list administrators will be on Bitnet: Thomas Habernoll of Technische U Berlin and Jim Ennis of U Central Florida. The new addresses will be: info-m2@db0tui11.bitnet (DB zero TUI eleven) or info-m2@ucf1vm.bitnet (UCF one VM) for postings (either address, but not both) and editor@ucf1vm.bitnet for administrative mail (additions, deletions, etc). For a limited period, info-modula-2 and info-modula-2-request at cs.rochester.edu will forward to the new addresses. Administrators of local redistributions should take this chance to edit any forwarding addresses in their local setup. Also, if you have a non-Bitnet address and can get a better feed from Bitnet instead of Rochester, send an administrative note to us. Thank you for all your support in the past. I have enjoyed the high technical quality of the postings to the list. Please give your support to the new administrators. Live long and prosper. Ken The updated information packet for this mailing list follows: ----- INFO-M2@ucf1vm.Bitnet INFO-M2@db0tui11.Bitnet (was Info-Modula-2@CS.ROCHESTER.EDU) A discussion list for the Modula-2 programming language. Modula-2 is a language by Niklaus Wirth which extends the Pascal foundation by providing an updated statement syntax (generalized LOOP, EXIT, RETURN, no GOTO), separate compilation with a module (compilation unit) broken into specification and implementation parts with importing and exporting of objects, controlled machine level access, and concurrent programming and coroutines. Modula-2 has most of the power of Ada but is small enough that excellent full implementations exist for CP/M 80. Messages are archived to <ARCHIVES.MODULA-2>MODULA-2-ARCHIV.TXT at SIMTEL20.ARPA. Old mail is saved to MODULA-2.ARCHIV.ymmdd. SIMTEL20 supports ANONYMOUS login for those with FTP access to the Internet. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to Editor@ucf1vm.Bitnet Contributions may be sent to INFO-M2@ucf1vm.Bitnet (from the US) or to INFO-M2@db0tui11.Bitnet (from Europe). These are two entry points for the same list. Only for those of you who are familiar with Bitnet Listserv: You may send requests (subscriptions, deletions, looking for mail archives) to the Listserv@ucf1vm / Listserv@db0tui11 addresses. Coordinators: Jim Ennis <jim@ucf1vm.Bitnet> Thomas Habernoll <habernol@db0tui11.Bitnet>
