> In comp.lang.modula2 you write: >We are considering replacing Pascal with Modula2 as the language of >instruction in our introductory Computer Science courses and were >wondering (1) How many other schools have made this change? (2) How >has it worked out? Any response would be appreciated. Trinity Western University in Ft. Langley British Columbia has used Modula-2 for five years. We have used Logitech's PC compiler (good) and PCollier (bad service) and now use SemperSoft on MPW on the Mac. The text is Sutcliffe (Merrill publishing). I have been on sabbatical at the nearby (much larger) Simon Fraser University this year. Here, I am teaching their intro course, also using Sutcliffe (me) and Sun's compiler. (Good compiler, bad library) I would never go back to Pascal for either teaching or writing software. Rick Sutcliffe
