I see! I remember fooling around with Modula in the '80s - I _think_
on my Apple. It couldn't have been my next machine - an Epson QX-16
running CP/M and the Forth-based proprietary VALDOCS system on a 8080
compatible NEC chip. I don't think the Epson machine was blessed with
something as useful as a Modula compiler. ;)

Or it have have been on my _next_ machine - an 8086 - that I first
tinkered with Turbo Pascal and Modula. Who knows.. ;)

But bless Randy "and the boys" for FidoNet and BBS!!
