This is a request for information about Modula-2 compilers for VAX/VMS.

I teach a second-year course in Data Stuctures and Algorithms, and am
contemplating switching from Pascal to Modula-2 as the programming language.
There are a number of good data structures books now which use Modula-2, and
it provides a better way of talking about data abstraction.

We have a Modula-2 implementation (I think from ETH), but it is reputed to
be very slow and would probably kill the system if a large class tried to
us it.  So, I'm looking for something better.  

What other implementations are available?  Contact addresses, prices and 
comments on experience with other compilers would be appreciated.
