..while retaining the original look and feel as good as possible.
..2) A base library which tries to emulate the Modula-2 standard

description:.A software emulator for parallel random access machine (PRAM)
..and a parallel modula-2 compiler for the emulator.  A PRAM
..consists of P processors, an unbounded shared memory, and a
..common clock. Each processor is a random access machine (RAM)
..consisting of R registers, a program counter, and a read-only
..signature register. Each RAM has an identical program, but the
..RAMs can branch to different parts of the program. The RAMs
..execute the program synchronously one instruction in one clock
..cycle.
..pm2 programming language is Modula-2/Pascal mixture having
..extensions for parallel execution in a PRAM. Parallelism is
..expressed by pardo-loop- structure. Additional features include
..privat/shared variables, two synchronization strategies, load
..balancing and parallel dynamic memory allocation.

description:.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.

..supports the following programming paradigms/purposes:.1)
..Structurally object-oriented specification of attributed graph

..specification of derived attributes, node sets, binary

..Rule-oriented/visual specification of parameterized graph
..rewrite rules with complex application conditions.  4)
..Nondeterministic & imperative programming of composite graph
..transformations (with built-in backtracking and cancelling
..arbitrary sequences of failing graph modifications).
..Therefore, PROGRES may be used as 1) a very high level
..programming language for implementing abstract data types with
..a graph-like internal structure, 2) a visual database
..programming language for the graph-oriented database system
..GRAS (which is available as free software under the GNU license
..conditions), 3) a rule-oriented language for rapid prototyping
..nondeterministically specified data/rule base transformations.
..Furthermore, PROGRES is an almost statically typed language
..which additionally offers "down casting" operators for runtime
..checked type casting/conversion (in order to avoid severe
..restrictions concerning the language's expressiveness).. 
..PROGRES is meant to be used with GRAS, which is also available
