[net.lang.mod2] Tartan Modula-2 compiler

pournell@sdcsvax.UUCP (04/25/84)

In the latest Unix review, a company in Pittsburgh called Tartan
advertises that they have an M2 compiler for VAX, 16Ks, 68Ks, etc..
Does anyone know about this company or its compiler?

Tartan Laboratories was started by William Wulf and others from
Carnegie-Mellon's computer science department for the purpose of
making the production quality compiler compiler (PQCC) project
into a commercial reality.  I doubt that any software house has
greater expertise in compiler construction.

I know nothing whatsoever about any of their products.
