[net.lang.mod2] Modula-2 Compilers Availible

verber@osu-dbs.UUCP (Mark Verber) (04/03/84)

I have received a number of requests about what Modula-2 compilers are
currently availible.  This is the most current list I can come up will.
If you know of any other Modula-2 compilers, or if some of my info is
incorrect please send mail to me.

	Cheers,

Name:		DEC Modula-2
Version:	1.0
Target:		VAX-11 (Berkeley Unix)
Source/OS:	UNKNOWN; Vax/UNIX
Availilability:	Research/Educational
Cost:		$100.00 handling
Status:		UNKNOWN (Unsupported)

	ARPAnet: powell@berkeley
	UUCPnet: ..!ucbvax!decwrl!powell
Date:	April 4, 1984
Notes:	The code produced by this compiler is faster than nearly
	anything else currently out (this includes Bliss-32) for
	normal tasks.  DEC at some later date may wish to charge
	for this compiler.

Name:		M2UNIX11
Version:	UNKNOWN
Target:		PDP-11 (LSI-11); Unix Version 7
Source/OS:	Modula-2; v7 Unix
Availibility:	UNKNOWN
Cost:		Sfr 400 (~ $150.00)
Contact:
	Department of Computer Science
	attn. Dr. J. Tobias
	University of South Wales
	P.O. Box 1
	Kensington, N.S.W. 2033
	Australia
Date:	January, 1981
Notes:	This compiler was an adaptation from the M2RT11 compiler. This
	was done for the Australian Atomic Enery Commission.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name:		M2RT11
Version:	1.0
Target:		PDP-11 (LSI-11); RT-11
Source/OS:	Modula-2; RT-11
Availibility:	By machine
Cost:		$160.00
Contact:
	Modula Research Institute
	950 North University Ave.
	Provo, Utah, 84604
	Phone: (801) 375-7402
Date:	March 3, 1984
Notes:	This is the original Modula-2 compiler constructed by Wirth.
	The transport media is 9 track tape (RT11 format).  MRI will
	also distribute the compiler on a RX01 floppy for $200.00.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name:		SMILER-2
Version:	2.0
Target:		LSI-11, 6809, 68000
Source/OS:	Pascal; CDC-Cyber
Availibility:	By machine
Cost:		$160.00
Contact:
	Modula Research Institute
	950 North University Ave.
	Provo, Utah, 84604
	Phone: (801) 375-7402
Date:	March 3, 1984
Notes:	This can be compiled using Release 3 of the Pascal 6000
	compiler.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name:		M2M
Version:	1.0
Target:		M-Machine
Source/OS:	Modula-2; M-Machine
Availibility:	By machine
Cost:		$160.00
Contact:
	Modula Research Institute
	950 North University Ave.
	Provo, Utah, 84604
	Phone: (801) 375-7402
Date:	March 3, 1984
Notes:	This generates code for a M-Machine (see description in
	Modula by Wirth.)  You can transport this in two ways.
	1) coding a M-Code interpreter on the target machine.
	2) replacing the compilers 4th pass to yield code for
	   the target machine.
	This is distributed in two ways: on 9 track tape RT-11
	format, and on IBM-PC floppies SS/DD. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name:		M2M-PC
Version:	1.0
Target:		IBM-PC
Source/OS:	Modula-2; IBM-PC
Availibility:	By machine
Cost:		$40.00
Status:		Supported and being developped
Contact:
	Modula Research Institute
	950 N. University Ave.
	Provo, Utah, 84604
	Phone: (801) 375-7402
Date:	April 4, 1984
Notes:	This is the compiled version of M2M. The sources are listed
	under M2M and cost $160.00.  The compiler (being 4 pass)
	takes more time to run than your average Pascal compiler, but
	produces code which is 30% more compact, and 20% faster. MRI
	is currently working on a M-Code to native code translator
	to improve speed of execution.  Programming tools developed
	for the Lilith should be availible soon.  This compiler runs
	under DOS 2.0, requires 128k RAM, and 2 floppies.

Name:		Volition Systems Modula II
Version:	UNKNOWN
Target:		Micros (see OS:)
Source:		UNKNOWN
OS:		CP/M-68K; p-System (IBM-PC, Apple II, Sage, Macitoch)
Availibility:	Unlimited
Cost:		Apple II $495.00; others $595.00
Contact:
	Volition Systems Inc.
	Phone: (619) 481-2286.
Date:	March 29, 1984
Notes:	This compilers into p-code.  This means that you need to have
	the p-System running on the IBM-PC, or on the Apple II before
	you bring up the Modula-2 compiler.  This also means that if
	you use the in-line assembler feature, your code will be
	converted to p-Code.
