A port by Klaus Preschern of the DEC SRC Modula 3 development package to OS/2. Modula 3 is an extension to Niclaus Wirth's Modula 2 and was originally implemented as Modula 2+ by the Acorn/Olivetti Research Laboratory but evolved into Modula 3 after Olivetti sold the lab to Digital Equipment Corporation.

Modula 2 is a development of Pascal by its original author and adds separately compiled modules, stricter & clearer syntax and a host of system programming additions to Pascal. Modula 2+ added multitasking, threading and multi programming features to the language and was originally created as an operating system development tool. Modula 3 adds memory management (garbage collection), type & generic safety features, generic programming, better exception handling and object-oriented extensions.

A port by Klaus Preschern of the DEC SRC Modula 3 development package to OS/2. Modula-3 is an extension to Niclaus Wirth's Modula-2 and was originally implemented as Modula 2+ by the Acorn/Olivetti Research Laboratory but evolved into SRC Modula 3 after Olivetti sold the lab to Digital Equipment Corporation. Support for the language was dropped by the original authors after a notorious disagreement with the Free Software Foundation (GNU folks) and the takover of Compaq (DEC owners) by Hewlett-Packard.

Version

  • SRC Modula-3 release 3.5.3 for OS/2
  • Dec 1996: 3.6
  • Jan 1997: 3.6b
  • Mar 1997: 3.6c
Prerequisites

Please note that due to a bug in the Hobbes incoming text parser the two versions of the DEC SRC Modula 3 system got the same description on Hobbes and are both listed as being for v3 of the OS, but actually version 36c is specifically for v3 and version 36d for v4.
