Programming assignments in my operating systems course are done in Modula-2,
mostly because of its co-routine capability.  Most students use our central
computing facility, but some prefer to use their own personal computers.  
Frequently, I am asked to recommend a compiler, but this is an area in which I
have very little experience.  Any help would be appreciated.

Most of the students have IBM compatible machines, but there are a smattering 
Macs, Atari STs, Amigas, and non-compatible MSDOS machines.  Cost is a very
important consideration.  Debugging tools are also important.  Compiler speed 
and the quality of the code produced are of secondary importance.
