Modula-2?

If there is anyone interested in flaming about Modula-2,
what say we lobby for a Modula-2 notesfile?

net.lang.mod2 ???

    I'm all for it.  I am implementing a compiler for the 68000 and there
are several places in the Report that I feel are ambiguous.  I'd like to
discuss it with other people interested in Modula-2.  I have one strong
disagreement (BITSET as a standard type) with the language definition but
other than that I absolutely love the language.  I describe Modula-2 as
90% of Ada with 10% of the complexity (that should start a few flames).

This is my indication of interest in Modula-II, discussions here or in
net.lang.ada or in a newsgroup of its own (net.lang.m2 ?).  Especially
the desirability in the real-time systems development market for
Modula-II development systems (syntax-directed editor, compiler, high-
level debugger).

Who is using Modula-II, for what, what target or host systems?  Native?

We have a home-grown Modula-II cross-compiler for the 68000.  Have used
it to develop embedded instrument control and data analysis systems.
Also have the ETH compiler for the PDP-11 and have used it in native and VAX
compatibility modes to develop software tools.
