I, too, used Logitech's Modula-2 for programming, and then wanted to write a   
MS-Windows application in Modula-2.  I recalled seeing an ad for Stony Brook
Software / Forest Road / Wilton, New Hampshire 03086 in some issue of Dr. Dobbs
in approximately October '87 which announced windows support.

They sent a crippled version of the compiler, and a windows demo program in
response to my specific questions about 'Does it really support MS-windows.'
At that time, March '88, they were estimating having the entire library of
windows calls out in June. Their price for the demo is $10. 

I thought that the price, nearly $350 for compiler, environment, and all the
source was steep, but with JPI and the FST (shareware) compilers competing,
perhaps this has dropped some.
