I have heard that there is a single pass Modula 2 compiler which is in
the public domain. I read about it in INFO-AMIGA where a guy said he
was porting it to the Amiga PC. I would like to know if anyone has
ever ported it to a 68000 Unix V system or if there are any other
public domain Modula 2 compilers for Unix systems. Any pointers would
be appreciated.

Er, I think a little confusion has been generated here. Prof. Niklaus Wirth (and company) have developed a one-pass Modula-2 compiler. There is a version for the Motorola 68000, National Semiconductor 32000, and (probably) the Lilith. You can license the SOURCE to the one-pass compiler from Modula Corporation (in the US) or from ETHZ (elsewhere) for $1000 (US). Some students at ETHZ wrote the necessary supporting modules (file/operating system-type stuff) to port the compiler to the Amiga and posted the BINARY to the net. (I seem to remember something about a Macintosh version also.) Unless I'm greatly mistaken, the one-pass Modula-2 compiler developed in Zurich is NOT public domain. BTW, we are working on porting the compiler to our company's 68000/Unix product (for internal use) using the Cambridge Modula-2 system as an intermediate step. If someone else out there is working on the same problem, perhaps we can compare notes? (Now if someone would port the one-pass compiler to my Atari ST... :-) >> Chuck Ferguson ======================================== Preston L. Bannister USENET: ucbvax!trwrb!felix!preston

How about summarising any replies on the net?

My request for information on the public domain one pass Modula 2
compiler has brought several requests from people who want to share
the information but has brought no information regarding the
compiler's whereabouts (if it exists at all). I will cross-post the
request to INFO-PASCAL and INFO-UNIX.
