- I maintain a list of information/useful software for Modula-2,
- with a bias towards PC implementations. The web reference is
- http://www.eng.newcastle.edu.au/ee/Moylan/m2/Modula2.html.

- Mike: your libraries sound like something that other people
- could make use of. If you are willing to make them available,
- then it's worth putting them on an ftp server somewhere.
- If this is the case, could you mail me (or post here) a WWW
- or ftp pointer that I can add to my list? If you don't have
- access to an ftp server, I'm willing to put them on our
- local server.
-
- Another useful resource for this sort of thing is something
- called the Game Programmers' Encyclopaedia. I've lost the
- address for this, but I'll try to track it down.
