As a former member of the Xerox Mesa Group, I'd like to know who told
you that! I want to laugh in their face. Modula-2 owes quite a bit to a
sabbatical that Niklaus Wirth spent at Parc. Modula-2 is at least a
nephew to Mesa, if not a direct decendant. Mesa's relationship to "C"?
Hostile? Nonexistant? I'm struggling for the appropriate word. Perhaps
"imagined" or "hallucinated" best describes their relationship.
