Thank YOU!! This is such a relief! I learn easier by example and by reference to the example in my own brain; reading comprehensive books do little to nothing for me. I learned C in a similiar way. Thanks for replying too, I thought there was something wrong (is morning breath over FidoNet possible?).. :-)

  Hello, Jai!
    You've wandered rather far afield from the C echo, haven't you?
However, I won't hold your youthful indiscretions against you.
Herewith is presented a Modula-2 equivalent to C's famous Hello, World
program.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE Howdy;
(*
   A program to write a line of text to the console.  Uses libraries
   and routines specified in Wirth's __Programming in Modula-2__,
   third corrected edition, 1985, Springer-Verlag.
*)
 
 
FROM InOut IMPORT WriteString, WriteLn;
 
BEGIN
  WriteString('Hello, World.'); WriteLn;
END Howdy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
  Although there is an ISO draft standard for Modula-2, I am aware of 
only
one compiler which currently supports it.  Therefore the program uses 
the
older "Wirth Standard" modules.  I would strongly suggest that you get
a copy of K.N. King's  __Modula-2:  A Complete Guide__, which does an
admirable job of introducing the vast majority of M2's features and
quirks (sort of like Cooper & Clancy's  __Oh! Pascal!__ ).
 
  Last that I heard, Clarion (which purchased JPI earlier this year)
still sold an educational version of JPI's TopSpeed Modula-2 for
somewhere under $100.00.  The code generation isn't half bad, being
much better than Turbo Pascal, and somewhat better than Turbo C's
(version 2.0), although the code generator is being to show its age
(especially against the latest versions of C compilers from Borland and
Microsoft).  Next time, I'll whip up some code for file I/O.
 
  Hang in there and keep on programming!

Hi,

this "Quarterly" (which never has appeared that fast) seems now
to be really dead; I asked for copies of some pages which were
not present in the latest European edition weeks ago - no answer.

Instead I recommend the (real) quarterly "Structered Programming".
It is not focused on a specific language, but contained some more
articles on Oberon than on Modula-2. I think this journal could
also be called "programming", or "programming with Wirth-languages".
It is excellent, and quite cheap, esp. when you take into account
that it is a Springer journal!

Hallo!

  In Ulm, we use it to modify the mtc from the GMD. It is very good, flexible
all what we (you) want.
  To do this, I portate the whole ToolBox to a VAX under VMS.

  To measure the quality of the ToolBox, it is a good thing to tell about the
difficulties we had to portate it. This was minor!
  The tables of the parsers have sun-format and after the transfer with the DNI-
Software I only need a little C-Programm (20 lines) to convert it to VAX-
format. The next time the parser and the scanner create themself their own
new table in VAX-format.
  There were also a lot of minor changes within the Modula-2-sources because
your compiler (from ModulaWare) is "stronger" as the Mocka-Compiler.

|->...who ist really using

I think neither Pascal nor Modula(-2) was ever "alive" in YOUR sense.
In Germany I know of only two (small) companies using Modula-2 in some extent.
C++?
If it "replaces" C (and in the mid-/longterm Cobol & Fortran - ahh, never ;^)
it would be an improvement anyway.

|->So what is the presence and the future of Modula-2?

In your sense it's dead; but consider Oberon-2, up to now Wirth's latest baby.
I hope THIS language will make it's way into "...the real world",
since it is small & beautiful, clear & concise, ......, all in all,
it's not a stillborn child of some "WG...".

Wirth's languages appear on the scene like desert prophets.(Computing Surveys)

If I read the message correctly, you say the in order to write a windows
application with Multiscope 4.0 Modula-2 you need the SDK from
Microsoft.  If this is in fact what you said you are incorrect.  I have
the Multiscope 4.0 Modula-2 package and you don't need the SDK.

Take a few steps out of your university : We here at ArtCom GmbH have 
implemented a complex software system running on UNIX (SCO) in Modula-2.
Started in 1986 on a MS-Dos-PC our Software now is about more 320,000 
lines of M2.

We are still in the market (Prepress Technology) but we don't care
about any M2-Standardization.  Our own inhouse language standard is
defined by N.Wirth "yellow report" (ETH Zuerich, March 1980) and some
self defined additional rules (Don't use this, Don't use that).  
That is enough for us.  Any serious Modula-2 use must be based on a 
clever selection of basic library modules, which doesn't rely on the 
random rubbish delivered from most M2-compiler vendors.  
It has taken us much time to develop this library set and the 
development still continues (including now X11 and a own
GUI toolkit).

Our current production compiler (Glance Ltd., Zuerich) generates 
`C' (used as a portable Macro-Assembler ;-) and we are using 
the GNU-suite (gcc 1.40, gdb,gmake, ...) as production development 
tools.  

All this works fine for us.

tries to use ... "mod".

Can someone help me to build a compiler from scratch?

There is `p2m2', which forms part of the distribution of the DECWRL Modula-2
compiler, ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com. You still have to do some manual
work on IO, and depending on how your Pascal program is organized,  on
the import lists.
