                               Modula-2 Compiler

                       with ISO Modula-2 Standard Library

This is a summary of the *world's most ignored* professional Oberon-2
Compiler Kit for VAX/VMS. 
MVR is based upon Regies Crelier's OP2 release from ETH-Zuerich and
is under development at ModulaWare GmbH since Jan-1991 (V0.9).
In the past 6 (six) months, ModulaWare further developed H2O; the most
important features of the current release are:

 - Strongly conforms to the language described in the Report
   "The Programming Language Oberon-2 by Moessenboeck/Wirth

 - fully compatible with all other Oberon and Oberon-2 Compilers based
   on the ETH-Zuerich release.

 - underscores "_" allowed anywhere in identifiers (language extensions
   as agreed with R. Crelier)

 - world's first full ISO Modula-2 Standard Library implementation for Oberon-2:
   - efficient implementation based on VAX/VMS RMS system services
   - full validity check for ChanId and DeviceId parameters

 - foreign interfaces to operating system services & definitions and 
   layered software products
   - X11
   - DECWindows
   - OSF/Motif
   - and others such as VAXLab, GKS, LIB, MTH, SMG, PPL, OTS, FMS, SYS...
   via foreign interface modules using Modula-2 compatible calling
   conventions (ModulaWare's Modula-2 Compiler MVR)

 - fully embedded in VMS environment including VMS symbolic/source-level
  run-time debugger support.
