Dear Christoph,
I understand you are maintaining "Free Modula-2 Pages"? If yes,
please, make the following changes:
Modula-2 syntax aware editors
---------------------------------------
The web page at http://freepages.modula2.org/m2in1.html#editor should
also mention the Alpha editor family. Alpha editors are very powerful
(one of the best editors I have ever worked with) and very
customizable, since tcl based. I'm since year the maintainer of the M2
mode, specifically designed and maintained by my group since a long
time for Modula-2 programming using Alpha editors. These days the M2
mode is released with any standard release of any Alpha editor, but
the M2 mode can still be obtained separately from following website:
http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/SimSoftware.html#RAMSES_Extras
and
http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/SimSoftware2.html#M2_Mode
Information on the Alpha editor family is available at
- AlphaX (Mac OS X):
http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Software/AlphaX
- AlphaTk (Windows):
http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php/Software/Alphatk
- Alpha (legacy Mac OS Classic): http://www.kelehers.org/alpha/
ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/pub/alpha/
The Alpha editor family is tcl based and uses
- AlphaTcl (all platforms): http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wikit/
MacMETH (compilers)
------------------------------
At http://freepages.modula2.org/compi.html you mention MacMETH. It
would be good to update that information a bit, since it sounds very
old given that you mention there it would fit onto floppy disks. If
you follow this link, you find there more uptodate text that would
better fit into the description.
(http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/MacMETH.html)
Then I suggest to mention in this context also the large RAMSES
(http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/RAMSES_Welcome.html),
of which MacMETH forms only a small part. RAMSES is still fully
maintained, used, and described on our website (automatically updated
during any release and describing in much detail the many software
layers we've build during the years using Modula-2). How about
providing the following brief desription of RAMSES:
RAMSES is a generic programing, modeling, and simulation environment
that allows you to solve a wide range of problems easily (Fischlin
1991
<http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/RAMSES_Welcome.html#Fischlin91>).
You can program or model and interactively solve non-linear
differential equations, difference equations, and discrete event
systems in any combination; size and complexity of your model is only
limited by your computer's resources. RAMSES is based on the Modula-2
programing language (Wirth 1985
<http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/RAMSES_Welcome.html#Wirth85>,
1988
<http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/SimSoftware/RAMSES/RAMSES_Welcome.html#Wirth88>)
that supports the writing of simple, compact, well-readable,
type-safe, modular and easily reusable programs that execute at high
speed.
Thanks for your help and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
Andreas Fischlin
