[comp.sys.hp] Looking for Modula-2 on HP 9000/3xx

paul@mecazh.UUCP (Paul Breslaw) (07/25/89)

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.
