As you probably know all our work has been with the original
Modula (now referred to by Wirth as Modula-1).

Modula-2 is a rather large language (a la Ada) and is, roughly,
the union of Modula-1 and Pascal with a few Modula-1 features
"cleaned-up".  The language is purely an in-house (i.e. ETH-Zuerich)
tool for writing the software for 'Personal Computer Stations'
under development at ETH by Wirth' group.  He does not intend to
publish (in a journal) the language definition.  He hopes to
have a 'Programmers reference manual' ready in the very near future.
This document is written with only ETH programmers in-mind. However,
I an sure he will send you a copy upon request. (N.B. I do not
know wheter it will be written in English or German!)

Hope this info. is of some help.
Kind regards
Ian Cottam
