I'm new to this list and in reading the last couple of months of the list I've notice an on going discussion of books for M-2. For an introductory college text I think 'Modula-2 Seafarers Guide and Shipyard Manual' would be an excellent one. It covers the basics well and keeps a good sense of humor, it is very readable. It also makes a good basic ref to the language. Also, (someone asked for this) it has a disciption of how M-2 came into being and where it fits into the world of computer 'languages' (or notation as Wirth would call them) Also I recently bought a source book for M-2 librarys at the local book store. 'Modula-2 Library Modules A Programmers Reference' (Robert D. Walker, TAB Books, Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17294 (USA) copyright 1988) I wish I had this when I started programming in Modula-2 9 months ago, it would have saved a lot of time. It is loaded with math, string manipulation, output, statistical, and universal graphics functions. An excellent source of library modules, one criticism though is I wish there would have been a disc available with it. (or be able to order a disc of the modules for various machines). It will be put to good and frequent use in my continuing programing efforts.
