[M3devel] Modula-3 bitfields

Mon Aug 27 14:20:56 CEST 2012

Hi all:
Yet, put another "A Theory of Objects" is almost begin to end in the web, however it misses just the justice with "Baby Modula-3" as it was used to check the type system of Modula-3, I believe but this research reports never came out (or the library didn't published it) so it's difficult to know what else is missing.
In fact they wrote an accompanying software to it, a new implementation of Obliq based on first chapters of the book, don't know where it ended.
Thanks

If you're trying to build the "complete Modula-3 library", Sedgewick
also did an edition of his Algorithms in Modula-3.  The Handbook of Programming
Languages has a chapter on Modula-3 as well.
