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.
