I posted a message at the beginning of the term about the Dec Modula2
compiler on our Ultrix system.

Well, the instructor gave up with that, and called Tartan Labs, a local
(Pittsburgh) Software firm.  

The compiler was installed with no problem in about two weeks, and 
I, as well as the other students, are very pleased with it.

It is a bit slow as it compiles, but it is well worth the wait.  Any
complilation errors are well explained, and possible 'fixs' are
suggested by the compiler.  Similar, but better, to 'pi.'

Any execution errors are also well explained.
For example, if you try to dereference a NIL pointer, the program
will tell what line, procedure, and modula the statement was in.
No core dumps, tahnk god!

I don't know the adress of Tartan labs, but I know it is located somewhere
in Pittsburgh, close to our campus.  


I would suggest the compiler to anyone serious in using Modula2 on
a Unix/Ultrix system.  I would also check with Tartan labs for 
Mod2 compliers for other systems.  Almost sure they would have them.
