The binary code for it has been brought over to the Amiga and will run on the Amiga using a special loader file. I believe it (the compiler) can be found on Fish Disk #24. You can order Fish disks from Amazing Computing. Also this months issue (Vol 3 Num 3, I think) has a review of the Benchmark-2 compiler for the Amiga. It's a review of the release version not the Beta Release, so some things in it may not apply. (I personally have the Beta Release... Now if only we could get a SDB...) -M.Resin "I'm waiting for the man, $26 in my hand" -The Velvet Underground- reply to: backstro@silver.bacs.indiana.edu

You can order Fish disks from Amazing YES M2Amiga IS based on the ETHZ compiler _AND_ even better, we are the same people how did release the Modula-2 compiler on Fish #24. That just shows how long we are in the Amiga business! M2Amiga is the further development of this compiler which by now has lost all Mac background and became a 100% Amiga compiler with features not available in any other M2 or even C compiler. The new compiler also made it to Fred Fish. Check out Fish #113. The loader is gone, a linker, an editor, a comlete set of library and interface modules are now part of the product M2Amiga. Any more questions? > (I personally have the Beta Release... Now if only we could get a SDB...) Well, our Source Level Debugger and a bunch of other useful utilities will be released soon and most important: we know who owns the rights to the compiler :-) > -M.Resin > -- // Markus Schaub | The Modula-2 People: // M2Amiga Developer | Interface Technologies Corp. \\ // uunet!nuchat!sugar!schaub | 3336 Richmond Ave. Suite 323 \X/ (713) 523-8422 | Houston, TX 77098
