We , a Poly Technical School, are interested in a PUBLIC-DOMAIN version of a Modula-2 Compiler for our students. Can someone give us an adress where we can get it, or send it to us. The teachers of HIO Groningen, The Netherlands. We can be reached by UUCP ...mcsun!hp4nl!hiogron!peter or with Internet peter@hio.gro.nl Thanks by me.

Sure, on The Mailbox 2:512/14. I just started as point a special Modula-2 corner and placed a number of MODULA-2 sources on this BBS. The shareware Modula-2 compiler from Fitted Software Tools (M2COMP_1.ZIP and M2COMP_2.ZIP) is one of the first 20 programs I have uploaded sofar. Let me know if they are useful for you. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!2!512!14.4465!Cees.van.Kessel Internet: Cees.van.Kessel@p4465.f14.n512.z2.fidonet.org

All these compilers seem to be for dos machines. Is there a Mac PD compiler? I know about TML Modula which is buckware. I am particularly interested in ones that don't need MPW. jeff

There is indeed a PD Modula-2 for the Mac. It is called MacLogimo Plus Modula-2, and it includes interfaces to much of the Mac Toolbox. On the flip side, it is a little on the large side, has no support (typical for PD products), and is a _very_ dated implementation. The latest version (which you can download from the modula.2 listings area on BIX (the Byte Info eXchange), still thinks it is working with a pre-Hierarchical File System, so it must be installed in the root folder of a disk. Since that disk has to be a hard disk in order to accommodate the system, it is a little inconvenient to have to litter the root folder with so many files. By the way, I mention BIX only because I happen to moderate the Modula-2 conference there. Presumably, you can also acquire MacLogimoPlus from other sources, both commercial and noncommercial... Good luck! ...Russ Schnapp UUCP: ucsd!serene!pnet12!rschnapp ARPA: crash!pnet12!rschnapp@nosc.mil INET: rschnapp@pnet12.cts.com

On the flip >side, it is a little on the large side, has no support ^^^^^^^^^^ Wellll, the chap who brought MacLogimo Plus to its present state is working on a new version, the last I talked to him. I am planning on helping him, as well. Improvements include expansion of Toolbox coverage and improvements to the libraries, and a much nicer working environment. >(typical for PD >products), and is a _very_ dated implementation.

While it is true that the development system wants things to look egalitarian, that doesn't mean you have to litter the root directory of your hard disk with 4.3 zillion little files. I get by just fine with all the MacLogimo stuff in a _PARTITION_ on my hard disk. And I should mention that although the environment is limited to MFS in the implementation you have, you can still write appications that deal with HFS successfully. > By the way, I mention BIX only because I happen to moderate the Modula-2 >conference there.

You can also get MacLogimo Plus, which traces its roots back to ETHZ, from Tim Myers himself, from GEnie, or from Apple via FTP. If you want the details on where to get MacLogimo Plus, or if you would like to be advised about the next version when it is released, Email me. Hey Russ, see in the Modula-2 conference when I get the bucks to get started on BIX. >...Russ Schnapp Lyle D.
