In article <995@sdcc7.ucsd.EDU> ss60w@sdcc7.ucsd.edu.UUCP (ss60w) recommends >"MODULA-2: A SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT >APPROACH" by Gary A. Ford and Richard S. Wiener (John Wiley >and Sons, 1986). as a Modula-2 book. I bought this one, and was quite disappointed with it. One learns a language by coding in it, but Ford & Wiener do not present a stand-alone, compilable program until Chapter 12! I ended up checking Wirth's book and one other out of the library. Both have their faults, but at least Wirth gives you a working example program on p. 23. Stephen Walton, representing myself swalton@solar.stanford.edu Cal State, Northridge rckg01m@calstate.BITNET
