Does anyone know if a Modula-2 compiler exists for any machines running HP-UX ? (HP's implementation of UNIX TM) Please e-mail if you can.

Box 4759 Foster City, CA 94404-0759 USA Their phone number is: (415) 341-1768. ana-systems (previously Djavaheri Bros.) has ported the ETH SMILER-2 compiler to a lots of 68K/UNIX combinations, and I think HP is among these. A five-pass compiler, SMILER-2 was originally written in CDC Pascal. However, ana-systems were going to (according to Stan) rewrite it in Modula-2 and also do a debugger. Good luck (to both ana-systems and yourself ! :-) - Frode PS: There's a very active Modula-2 community on BIX. Questions like these might be answered in the BIX modula.2 conference if you can't get any results here.

I then got the answer that the only debugger supported was adb and that they had no planes either developing a debugger or making the compiler support gdx / gdx-tools on Sun. Maybe (hopefully) this guy in California did'nt know what he was talking about, if so, please tell me I'm wrong because I REALLY NEED TO FIND a compiler who supports these tools. Any hints would be appreciated. Peter Lundberg. peter@cs.umu.se

(HP's implementation of UNIX TM) >Rajeev Jog Yes, there is one. You may even find it in the newest software catalog of HP itself. It runs on 9000/300s and there will be a new one for 9000/800sthat has been developed in close cooperation with HP. Here is an address for US, at the bottom you find another for Europe and in your catalog you find some more for several countries: Interface Technologies Corp. 3336 Richmond, Suite 323 Houston, TX-77098-9990 Tel.

If you want a specialized compiler for a popular machine, you might not want to get ana-systems' compiler as long as they don't have a debugger. However, Sun Microsystems has a fairly good compiler of their own, and the same seems to be true for Oregon Software [although I've never tested their compiler]. We're using Sun's compiler for a fairly large (250,000+ loc) Modula-2 project, and so far it seems to work. You can use Sun's dbx and dbxtool debuggers to debug programs written with their compiler, while Oregon Software sells their own debugger. The University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands will sell you their Amsterdam compiler kit if you're really desperate. I don't know about debugging support in the Amsterdam Compiler Kit, though. - Frode, M2CS PS: Good luck!
