        compiler(->C), run-time, library, documentation
     
        The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it
        	can be while meeting the needs of modern systems
        	programmers.  Instead of exploring new features, we
        	studied the features of the Modula family of languages
        	that have proven themselves in practice and tried to
        	simplify them into a harmonious language.  We found
        	that most of the successful features were aimed at one
        	of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler,
        	more systematic type system.  Modula-3 retains one of
        	Modula-2's most successful features, the provision for
        	explicit interfaces between modules.  It adds objects
        	and classes, exception handling, garbage collection,
        	lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation
        	of unsafe features.
     
        conformance:	implements the language defined in SPwM3.
