We're looking for a reasonable Modula-2 system that runs on HP 9000/3xx
under HP-UX 6.5 or later.
Requirements:-
- Compiler should accept 'classical' Modula-2, ie. Wirth's definition
up to about 1985.
- Good floating point code.
- Library not important.
- None of this single pass explicit forward reference rubbish.
- Generate standard Unix object files.
- Use a pre-linker to get the link order correct, and then ld(1).
- Run-time checking of array bounds, ranges, etc.
- Processes not needed.
- Have a decent source level debugger (or be usable under xdb, dbx, xdb, or
the flavour of the month 'standard' debugger).
- The whole system must be capable of sustaining real applications consisting
of hundreds of modules - toy makers please refrain from replying.
- We can *pay* for it, if it is good enough.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
