Has anyone ported a Modula-2 compiler to the 7300? If so, is it
available through ftp?

I have ported a one-pass Modula-2 compiler to the good ol' 7300.  It
generates a COFF file that is linked with "ld", and uses the shared C
library.  It is available for anonymous FTP from hotel.cis.ksu.edu
(129.130.10.12) in pub/UNIX/UnixPC/mod2+IN.Z.  This is a compressed cpio
file in installable format.  It includes binary of the compiler and source
for the libraries.  It ends up in /usr/local and below, so that must be in
your search path to use it.  Documentation is in /usr/local/lib/mod2/doc
after installation.  There are a few things that still don't work right,
but students here have been using it for 2 semesters now.  At some point, 
I intend to do more work on it, but my list of things-to-do doesn't seem to
get any shorter!  Have fun.
