[comp.lang.modula2] Availability of Modula-2 under Xenix

FRASER@NOCMI.arpa.UUCP (02/03/87)

Dear All,
 
Could any knowledgeable person(s) out there tell me if there is such a
thing as a Modula-2 compiler (supporting PROCESSes) that will run under
a Xenix o/s ?
 
The reason I ask is that I want to implement a HLL on the HyperCubes at
our establishment; which at the moment has FORTRAN and C on it.
 
I have approached the LogiTech people at both CA and Switzerland and have
received un-enthusiastic responses. So I'm back to square one.
 
Apologies if this question has been raised before.

DEC's Western Research Lab in Palo Alto has a very good
Modula-2 that runs under Ultrix on a VAX.  Whether it can
be ported to other unix's I don't know.  I think it is
available only to educ and non-profits and is basically unsupported
but from your path I assume that would be ok.  It was written by
Mike Powell and is claimed to generate code that runs faster than
any other VAX compiler.
