I'm new to this list and in reading the last couple of months of the list
I've notice an on going discussion of books for M-2.  For an introductory
college text I think 'Modula-2 Seafarers Guide and Shipyard Manual' would
be an excellent one.  It covers the basics well and keeps a good sense of
humor, it is very readable.  It also makes a good basic ref to the language.
Also, (someone asked for this) it has a disciption of how M-2 came into
being and where it fits into the world of computer 'languages' (or notation
as Wirth would call them)

Also I recently bought a source book for M-2 librarys at the local book store.
'Modula-2 Library Modules A Programmers Reference' (Robert D. Walker, TAB
Books, Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17294 (USA) copyright 1988) I wish I had this
when I started programming in Modula-2 9 months ago, it would have saved a
lot of time.  It is loaded with math, string manipulation, output, statistical,
and universal graphics functions.  An excellent source of library modules, one
criticism though is I wish there would have been a disc available with it.
(or be able to order a disc of the modules for various machines).  It will
be put to good and frequent use in my continuing programing efforts.
