At the institute of computer science here in Aachen I've been using Taylor-
Modula-2 (version 3.0 or so). I must say that the shareware Modula-2
compiler FittedModula-2 is a better one! Here are some reasons for my
(own!) opinion:

        * TaylorModula-2 uses built-in keywords (like LVAR, LADR, ...) to
          distinguish the small from the large memory model on a PC.
          This causes great problems when porting programs to e.g. unix
          machines. FittedModula-2 uses environment variables/compiler
          switches for this.
        * FittedModula-2 is shareware. So you can test it before actually
          paying for it.

I don't know exactly where FittedModula-2 can be found. If you are
interested, I will look it up for you.

So long, Ricki.
