Hi,
Is there any public domain Modula-2 in source code? (in Pascal
or C or even Modula :) )
If there is such a beast, can someone upload it or give info
on how I can get it? Thanks...

I have a PD modula2 called FMODULA2.ARC. It doesn't have source and
haven't tried it, but it is 285K
If you want a copy send me mail ( Ihaven't yet figured out using
mail across UNIX systems yet) or phone me on
(602)395-5133 during the day (Phoenix,AZ)

My guess is that what you are calling the PD Modula-2, FMODULA2 is probably an archived an uploaded copy of FST Modula-2, from Fitted Software Tools (Roger Carvalho) in Duluth GA. There is a $35. shareware fee associated with this system, if it is what I think it is. Roger doesn't release the sources to the compiler, but registered users get the sources to the libraries. I have used this compiler this semester in several courses I teach, with pretty good success. It has a decent editor/debugged/error tracer environment, and compiles very fast. This compiler has been described as a "shareware gem" - I can certainly say it's the best software product I've ever seen for the price. And Roger is continually upgrading it. But PD it ain't - and Roger tells me that if people don't pay his shareware fee he'll take it commercial. It'd be a shame to lose another good shareware product. If you use it, you gotta pay for it.

Ugh. It's not PD, but shareware, and rather nice for the price ($25).
I had the privilege of meeting the author of FST Modula-2 for the PC,
Roger Carvalho at the March standards meeting, and have used his
compiler. It provides a quite usable, low-cost, experience with the
language for the MS-DOS user.
It is available on a number of BBSs as well as UUCP. The interested BBS
user might try +1 (503) 297-9145.
