Yes.  However, they are not as "available", nor as widely used.  I suspect
the number ofactive Modula programmers can be counted on the figures of
only a few dozen hands.  While Modula added "modules", and thus formalized
separate compilation, most Pascal implementations have supported this,
albeit as a non-standard feature.  There are other aspects of Modula that I
feel are NOT an improvement over Pascal (but that's my own
bias).
