Very interesting. No mention of Dorado (is that the name of a xerox workstation? I thought mesa was first implemented on it)? What is the meaning and relevance of the last paragraph, about Ada? --drj

It was the inspiration for Modula-2 when its author spent time with Xerox as an undergraduate. What? Niklaus Wirth was the author of Modula-2... and I think he was well past undergraduate by then! --NickelKnowledge

I have no problem with the connection, I was complaining about the undergraduate bit. --NK

Well this is all very good. Someone wrote that cedar came before mesa, but http://www.parc.xerox.com/hist-lst.html claims it was the other way round, so I changed it. That also accords with my very vague 3rd or 4th info. Cedar was designed to interop more easily with C and Modula wasn't it? --drj
