  Modula-2
       
           A high-level programming language designed by
          Niklaus Wirth at ETH in 1978.  It is a derivative of
          Pascal with well-defined interfaces between modules, and
          facilities for parallel computation.  Modula-2 was developed
          as the system language for the Lilith workstation.
       
          The central concept is the module which may be used to
          encapsulate a set of related subprograms and data structures,
          and restrict their visibility from other portions of the
          program.  Each module has a definition part giving the
          interface, and an implementation part.
       
          The language provides limited single-processor concurrency
          ({monitors, coroutines and explicit transfer of control)
          and hardware access ({absolute addresses and interrupts).
          It uses name equivalence.

  Modula-2*
       
          An extension of Modula-2 by M. Philippsen
           of the University of Karlsruhe.  It
          uses a superset of data parallelism, allowing both
          synchronous and asynchronous programs, both SIMD and MIMD.
          Parallelism may be nested to any depth.  There are version for
          MasPar and a simulator for the SPARC.
