[net.cse] Academic Modula-2 User Survey

mazlack@ernie.BERKELEY.EDU (Lawrence J. &) (11/28/85)

25 November, 1985

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 didn't get very many 
responses.  However, they are summarized below.

I suspect that there are more.  If you are currently using Modula-2 in
a class, or about to do so, I would appreciate hearing from you.  I'll
update this summary and repost it if I get ANY additional information.

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.

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.

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,
