I had tried in the past to get a dead link in the Modula-2 FAQ fixed
but Rick did either not get my mail or he was too busy. Since then I
heard from two other people having had the same experience trying to
have links changed. Does anybody know if Rick is alright?

I also notice that the google posting system does not allow replying
to the FAQ, or at least I gave up after trying various different was
for half an hour.

ANyway, the final paragraph in Q 1.17 is out of date and incorrect.
The correct URL for the Objective Modula-2 project is
http://www.sunrisetel.net/software/devtools/objective-modula-2.shtml,
an email address can also be found on that page's FAQ.

The info at TWU indicates that he is still around:

I also would very much like to see the Modula-2 FAQ brought up to date.

This could be out of date, too. Anybody here who has had direct
contact with Rick lately?

The quickest way to find out is to give him a call - his phone number is on
the FAQ. Either that or call TWU.

A message dated Apr 20 2009 from Rick was forwarded to me by email today. In
it he states "I was planning on working on the FAQ in the next two weeks, so
by all means send info." If anybody wants to contribute, email me and I'll
forward his email addresses to you.
