Interesting comment, since the original reason that I was interested in 
Modula-2 was because I was working with a threaded operating system 
(twelve years ago) and wanted a language which would abstract them.

I must say that there is a particularly good match between OS/2 DLLs and 
Modula-2 definition modules (except for that fact that one would need a 
way of having multiple implementation modules for one definition module, 
and there is no rigorous way of testing at runtime that a DLL is the 
right version i.e. that the types etc. are correct).

I wonder what would have happened to the industry if there had been a 
Visual Modula-2 for OS/2-PM in 1988?
