Try mtsg.ubc.ca. (128.189.103.1). I've downloaded it a while back but I never really tried it out. I hope this is of help. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% E-mail ajl3578@ultb.isc.rit.edu "It's nice to be important, but BITNET ajl3578@RITVAXA more important to be nice" -Br.

Thanks to all who responded with information pertaining to free Modula-2 compilers. Among the numerous responses were two compilers which proved to be worthwhile implementations of the Modula-2 languages as defined in Wirth's Programming in Modula-2, 3rd Edition: Fitted Software Tools Modula-2 for the IBM PC Version 2.0 DEC Modula-2 for Ultrix-based Computers Fitted Software Tools Modula-2 for the IBM PC is available via anonymous FTP from wsmr-simtel20.arpa in subdirectory pd1:<msdos.modula2>. DEC Modula-2 for Ultrix is available via anonymous FTP from gatekeeper.dec.com in subdirectory pub/DEC/Modula-2. Incidentally, a Modula-3 compiler is also available for Ultrix is subdirectory pub/DEC/Modula-3. I failed to mention the environments in which the free compilers were needed. The two desired environments are IBM Personal Computers and BSD Unix 4.2-4.3 Systems. The BSD Unix 4.3 system we use at my institution is the Encore Multimax (which runs UMAX 4.3). We have an old version of the ETH/IIT compiler. Once again, thanks to all who informed me about free Modula-2 compilers. If anyone out there is a PC programmer, I would highly recommend the Fitted Software Tools Modula-2 compiler. It is one of the best pieces of free software I have seen. For commercial purposes, however, one might desire the TopSpeed Modula-2 optimizing compiler. -- George K.

The Fitted Software Tools system is SHAREWARE. It is NOT free. Roger Carvalho has done a terrific job on this system, and keeps it up to date. He deserves the shareware fee that he asks for - somwhere in the neighborhood of $30-40. Well worth it. Please - if you are going to use a shareware system, pay up. (I have no connection with FST - I just think we oughta help them survive!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Michael Feldman Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 202-994-5253 mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
