Where can I get the SRC sources by anonymous ftp? I would need the domain address and the directory? Thanx. ken

> Where can I get the SRC sources by anonymous ftp? > I would need the domain address and the directory? Below is the annoucement for SRC Modula-3 1.6. Please note that this version implements the language described in the SRC Report #52. Since that report, the language has been slightly modified (by the so-called "Twelve Changes"). The book "System Programming with Modula-3" describes the modified language. We are working on a new release that implements those changes. SRC Modula-3 ------------ A new release, version 1.6, of the SRC Modula-3 compiler and runtime are available now (March 28, 1991). This is the fourth public release of SRC Modula-3. The system was developed at the DEC Systems Research Center. It is being distributed in source form (mostly Modula-3) and is available for public ftp. You must have a C compiler to build and install the system. NEW IN THIS RELEASE ------------------- The primary changes since version 1.5 are: - many bugs are fixed (in particular, installation bugs) - additional library modules (more U**X bindings, pickles) - it is easier to build shared libraries (by default on IBMR2) - the system was ported to: SUN3 running SunOS Encore Multimax running UMAX 4.3 (R4.1.1) Acorn R260 running RISC iX 1.21 in addition to the previous ports: Apollo DN4500 running Domain/OS, IBM PC running AIX/PS2, IBM RT running IBM/4.3, IBM R6000 running AIX 3.1, HP 9000/300 running HP-UX 8.0 VAX running Ultrix 3.1 DECstation 3100 and 5100 running Ultrix 3.1 SPARCstation running SunOS 4.0.3 DISTRIBUTION ------------ The system is available: - via anonymous ftp from 'gatekeeper.dec.com' [16.1.0.2], - via uucp from decwrl - via Easynet from DECWRL The SRC Modula-3 files are in '/pub/DEC/Modula-3'. Those files include: % ls -R README m3-1.6 report comp.lang.modula3 comp.lang.modula3: README aug90.Z dec90.Z feb91.Z jan91.Z jun90.Z may90.Z oct90.Z apr90.Z dec89.Z feb90.Z jan90.Z jul90.Z mar90.Z nov90.Z sep90.Z m3-1.6: README dist-1.6.tar.Z-02 dist-1.6.tar.Z-05 dist-1.6.tar.Z-08 dist-1.6.tar.Z dist-1.6.tar.Z-03 dist-1.6.tar.Z-06 dist-1.6.tar.Z-09 dist-1.6.tar.Z-01 dist-1.6.tar.Z-04 dist-1.6.tar.Z-07 report: README Report.ps.Z Report1.ps.Z Report2.ps.Z Report3.ps.Z The compressed tar file m3-1.6.tar.Z is about 4.6Mbytes. The entire system requires about 35Mbytes of disk space to build and install. The system is also available via semi-anonymous UUCP from the Computer and Information Science Department at Ohio State University, osu-cis (there may be a small delay between the avaibility from the above sources and the avaibility from osu-cis). The files are in the directory '~/m3'. Here is a set L.sys or Systems file lines suitable for contacting osu-cis via UUCP: # # Direct Trailblazer # osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon # # Direct V.32 (MNP 4) # dead, dead, dead...sigh. # #osu-cis Any ACU 9600 1-614-292-1153 in:--in:--in: Uanon # # Micom port selector, at 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps. # Replace ##'s below with 12, 24, or 96 (both speed and phone number). # osu-cis Any ACU ##00 1-614-292-31## "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon For information about acquiring Modula-3 by other means, please write to Pine Creek Software 305 South Craig St. Suite 300 Pittsburgh, PA 15213 CONDITIONS ---------- SRC Modula-3 is not a Digital Equipment Corporation product. It is a research work which is provided ``as is''. We do not promise to fix bugs, but we will try. SRC Modula-3 is available without signing any license agreements. If you chose to sign the commercial license, you will be able to use SRC Modula-3 commercially. See the documents that are included in the release for more information. WHAT IS SRC MODULA-3 ? ---------------------- SRC Modula-3 includes a user manual, compiler, runtime library, core library, pretty-printer, and a few other goodies. The libraries include interfaces for X11R4, I/O streams, string functions, access to command line arguments, random numbers, and operating system access. The compiler generates C as an intermediate language and should be fairly easy to port. Except for the very lowest levels of the thread implementation, the entire system is written in Modula-3. KEEPING IN TOUCH ---------------- If you want to communicate with other Modula-3 users, you can post articles to the comp.lang.modula3 Usenet newsgroup. If you do not have access to this newsgroup, you can send a message to m3-request@src.dec.com to be added to the relay mailing list. Messages sent to m3@src.dec.com are forwarded to the newsgroup and to the members of the relay mailing list.
