I'm brand new to the Modula world.  I currently telnet to a Sun host running 
S5r4.  Staying connected for hours at a time is frowned upon at Ohio State.  
And, I'm tired of typing text here on notepad, FTPing it down, telneting in to 
compile, having to type:

/opt/epc/em2/bin/em2 -epc --g -o something.out something.mod

My home pc is a Pentium 60/16meg/1.6g running Windoze er a Windows 95.  I've 
been a C++ coder for 10+ years and have gotten spoiled by all the bells and 
whistles on my MS C++ v4.0.  So after all that, here's a few questions:

1)  Is there a good 32 bit Modula package for '95?  I'm tired of 16bit win3.x 
garbage crashing my system every 5 mins.

2)  Is there visual type Modula editor?

3)  What's the difference between Modula-2 & -3?  Can -3 use -2 code like C++ 
will use C?

4)  I also run Slackware Linux.  I would even be happy with a good Xwindows 
package.  Do I have any options here?

In sum, I basically want a one stop, easy-to-use, GUI based setup to gen some 
Modula-2 code.  If anyone can help or would like to share with me what they 
use, I would be great full.
