A 16 bit Modula-2 compiler for OS/2 and DOS that was later delivered in a 32 bit version and made available for Microsoft Windows. Support for OS/2 was added in version 2 and existed at the least until version 3. Developer Stony Brook Software was bought out by Belgian CAD vendor ADW Software in 2005 and taken off the market. While the company initially only developed it for internal use, they did in 2011 release a freeware version of the compiler for Windows 32 and 64 bit development.

The development system came with two compilers, an optimising multi pass compiler that was closer to the ISO standard and a single pass#1 compiler presumably based on the ETH version that was either PIM 3 of PIM4 compatible and was called QuickMod. It also had a linker, and editor called M2EDIT, a debugger called M16, a run-time library and support for multi tasking on all target architectures.

The QuickMod compiler was also sold alongside a simple editor and linker as a budget alternative with a RRP of US$99.
