ouch. i tried using it on vms but found it far too painful.
in university the intro to cs course used modula-2 on macs (sporting
system 5 or 6 back then i think). we used little mac classic type
machines. and the program editor would actually allow you to enter
control chars into your code but then not show them and not let you
delete them.
oh the joy.
wirth did a third language too. modula-3. it was one of those "the
language is the environment" thinks ala smalltalk and now squeak.
cute but ugh.
