I work for a major NY bank which uses Modula-2 for telecomm. applications.
We use the Hamburg compiler (which was later taken over by Logitech,
which then sold it recently to a Swiss company).  We evaluated
Oregon's VMS M2 compiler, and decided against it for the following reasons:
1) It didn't integrate too well into the VMS environment : it had
its own debugger; you couldn't use VMS DEBUG (or PCA, etc.), and
interfacing to modules generated by other languages wasn't too clean).
2) It was very different from the Hamburg/Logitech compiler (mainly in
the way the support modules were defined), so that conversion would
have been a major hardship on our part.

	Hope this helps.
