ACADEMIC MODULA-2 SURVEY
------------------------
4 August, 1986
A little while ago, I asked for information about where and how Modula-2
was or was about to be used in academic courses. I am slowing acccumulating
responses. I am pretty sure that there is a lot more activity than this out
there. When I get some more, I will again repost.
If you are currently using Modula-2 in a class, or are about to do so,
I would appreciate hearing from you. I will update and repost this survey
as I get additional information. I also appreciate getting corrections and
amplifications. I certainly need all the help that I can get.
Please send it to me in the following format:
(a) institution,
(b) course number, name
(c) level of course (freshman, soph, junior, senior, grad, etc.),
(d) text used,
(e) compiler used,
(f) hardware configuration,
(g) contact person,
(h) miscl.
If you have information about a Modula-2 compiler, please tell me:
(a) Source: person (if relevant), organization, address
(b) Machine
(c) Operating system

I'll cheerfully update the compiler information, as I get it.
I'll also try to reply with a confirmation when you send me something.
However, make sure to include your E-mail address. Using "R" has
erratic results.
