Subject: Modula-2 for VMS, including foreign Language support

Hello,
I'm reposting a message I've send before to <INFO-MODULA-2>:

There is a (* my oppinion *) good an not to expensive native mode
M2 Compiler for VAX/VMS distributed by:

      Dr. J.W. Schmidt
      Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitaet
      Fachbereich Informatik (CS Dept.)
      Dantestrasse 9
      D-6000 Frankfurt/Main, West-Germany
      UUCP: something like ....!RBIFFM!SCHMIDT

The compiler is free, but there is a $200 handling charge (* I dont't know
what they actually do ... *).

I think LOGITECH is distributing the same stuff, but for a much higher price.

The compiler produces native VAX/VMS object code, which must be linked
by the VAX/VMS Linker. The compiler has an language extension called
"FOREIGN DEFINITION MODULE" that allows to specify names, parameters AND
their calling mechanism (* %VAL, %REF %STDESCR *) for procedures written in
ANY Language that conforms to the VAX/VMS object module standards.

We are quite happy with the Product and haven't seen serious bugs up to
now.

The compiler comes with complete sources and binaries.
