I personally use Logitechs Modula-2 system, along with a few ad-ons from a
company called PMI (really good stuff).  I would recommend looking for a book
at your usual book store, pick up any Mod-2 book and see what compiler it
uses (supports).  Some are very generic and would be difficult to use if it
does not match the syntax of the text you are using.  I think a book called
"The Sea Farers Guide to Modula-2 is a book good for beginners and acts as a
nice crowbar if you are moving from pascal.

Any specific questions just send to;
