| re: Modula-3,
You're kidding right? There is actually a language with the name
Modula-3? I had always assumed that the term Modula-2 was a play on
the fact that computers are binary (or Modula-2), hence the lack of a
Modula-1 computer language. Am I totally off-base, or didn't Wirth
use something along this criteria in choosing the "Modula-2" name?
If not, then why not just call it Pascal-2 or whatever?

| 240.2 | yes - there is a Modula-3 | COMICS::DEMORGAN | Richard De Morgan, UK CSC/CS | Thu Jun 22 1989 12:59 | 3 |
| Modula-2 suceeded Modula, and there are ongoing standardization
activities for it. As far as I know, there is no stndardization
activity for Modula-3.

| How about compilers? From the language definition, it looks like the
best thing since Algol 68.

The Systems Research Centre (see circus::srcnotes) appear to have
a Modular-3 compiler for their Topaz programming environment.

| 240.5 | no SRC Modula-3 or Modula-2+ compiler on VMS... | AITG::DOUCETTE | Chuck, LISP development, 291-8057 | Thu Jul 06 1989 09:04 | 6 |
| As far as I know, there is no SRC Modula-3 or SRC Modula-2+ compiler for
VMS. There is a VMS version of the WRL Modula-2 compiler that could probably
be used to boot-strap a SRC Modula-2+ compiler which in turn could probably
boot-strap a SRC Modula-3 compiler.
