It may still make a comeback! It probably isn't the compiler that Mr. Grandi refers to, but a Lund Simula compiler exists for the Macintosh. It runs under MPW, and requires the MPW assembler. It is available for anonymous ftp from rascal.ics.utexas.edu, in directory mac/programming/simula. A Hypercard stack that comes with it contains the beginnings of a reference manual. I have nothing to do with the U of Texas, Lund, or the compiler. I haven't even had a chance to try it out yet.

The Simula compiler referred to has been ported both to the ATARI-ST and to the Macintosh (as well as to a number of workstations and mainframes). The compiler was originally developed at University of Lund and is now supported by a company called Lund Software. The port to ATARI-ST was carried out at University of Dortmund. Info about the ATARI-ST port can be obtained from Wilfried Rupflin at University of Dortmund (wr@exunido.irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de). Info about the Mac port (which is public domain) and about other ports can be obtained from Boris Magnusson at University of Lund (boris@dna.lth.se). He is also interested in receiving comments on any of the ports. Gorel Hedin gorel@dna.lth.se Dept of Computer Science, University of Lund, Sweden
