MetroWorks is distributing a Modula-2 system with it's own environment. They
have a student version for $39 that's being distributed by MacMillian
Publishing Company. Let's see, (looking at my notes)...

It's called the Metrowerks Modula-2 StartPak (TM). It's sold by Macmillans
sales reps direct to the campus bookstore and professors.
ISBN-0-02-380810-1

Your can reach Metrowerks on the net at Modula2@MIPS1.UQAM.CA
