My guess is that what you are calling the PD Modula-2, FMODULA2 is
probably an archived an uploaded copy of FST Modula-2, from Fitted
Software Tools (Roger Carvalho) in Duluth GA. There is a $35. shareware
fee associated with this system, if it is what I think it is. Roger
doesn't release the sources to the compiler, but registered users get
the sources to the libraries. I have used this compiler this semester
in several courses I teach, with pretty good success. It has a decent
editor/debugged/error tracer environment, and compiles very fast.

This compiler has been described as a "shareware gem" - I can certainly
say it's the best software product I've ever seen for the price. And
Roger is continually upgrading it. But PD it ain't - and Roger tells
me that if people don't pay his shareware fee he'll take it commercial.
It'd be a shame to lose another good shareware product. If you use it,
you gotta pay for it.
