 Do you have an email adr for the author ?
We are looking for all Cross Modula-2, to add to our product range, and even
a Z80 unit would be of interest - though Hitachi are killing their 64x180
parts.
 If we can find a solid cross compiler, we will sell alongside our Mod51 cross
compiler, but for cores other than 80x86 and 80x51, there is always the XDS
 product, which  output C code.
