Browsing the Modula-3 Resource page at http://www.m3.org/ >From the Modula-3 FAQ: http://m3.polymtl.ca/m3/pkg/pm3/intro/src/questions/implementations.html What implementations are available, how do they compare? All implementations are based on DEC SRC Modula-3. Critical Mass offers an improved version with commercial support. It features incremental garbage collection on NT, and a few additional packages like ODBC database access. Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal has an updated distribution. It features integrated documentation, weekly updates, pre-compiled binaries for several platforms, and debugging support on NT. Special versions have been developed for OS/2 and DOS and are available on the Polymtl site. >From the Critical Mass Modula-3 homepage: http://www.cmass.com/cm3/ We are pleased to announce the availability of CM3, our cross-platform compiler and runtime for Modula-3, as a standalone product. CM3 is the core of Reactor, Critical Mass's complete environment for the development of robust, cross-platform, client-server and distributed applications on Windows and Unix. If you don't need Reactor's extensive libraries and advanced features, then CM3 is for you. For a limited time, a trial version of CM3 is available for download. You will have access to all CM3's functionality for a period of 30 days. Register and Download CM3, or contact us to order a copy. There may be a SERIOUS problem here, guys!
