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). Bob Schor Pascal Enthusiast
