[net.lang.mod2] Modula-2 M-code compiler req.

ELESHANS@HEITHE5.BITNET (03/12/86)

I have heard that there should be a public domain Modula-2
compiler around that generates M-code (like P-code). I would
appreciate it if anyone can tell me more about this.

The 4-pass compiler for the Lilith developed at ETH Zurich, Switzerland,
produces M-code (which is directly executed by the Lilith hardware.)
This compiler is public domain in the sense that anybody can get a tape
of the compiler from ETH Zurich.  There is a distribution fee, however,
which I believe is in the range of $150.  Anybody who is interested in
obtaining this compiler should write to

	Institut fur Informatik
	Modula-2 Distribution
	ETH Zentrum
	CH-8092 Zurich
	Switzerland

They will send you a little leaflet on what compilers they distribute
and a licence agreement which you have to sign and send back, together
with the check for the distribution fee, of course.
