I have two questions about Modula-3.
The first concerns the documentation. I have read through the gatekeeper
files Release-1.5.ps and have browsed Report1.ps. The first seems mainly
concerned (by definition) with how to get and setup Modula-3. The second
seems to be a "definition" of Modula-3. As far as I can tell it is
written by programming-language-designers for programming-language-designers.
I am a potential *user* - is there some documentation aimed at me? Perhaps
I did not read far enough into the 'report'. To be more specific about what
I'm looking for, I would like to find something which is structured and
paced along the lines of 'The GAWK Manual' that comes with GNU Awk. It
explains the various components and features by using lots of small, working
example programs that deal with concrete, familiar situations so someone
gets an idea of how to actually USE the features.
The second concerns implementations - I would like to know if there is one
that will run on a Macintosh SE, or if someone is working on such a beast.
Thanks for any information.
