As it happens I picked up a copy of the Modula-3 manual a month or
so ago, and I've looked at it carefully.  It has a lot going for it,
but
    (a) it's *experimental* software
    (b) implementations were listed for *none* of the machines I mentioned
    (c) where are the textbooks?
just for starters.  I wish Modula-3 every success, and in a couple of
years maybe it will be a good thing to switch to.
