I suppose that by PC you mean IBM-compatible PC?

Mocka or GPM. First get Linux; it's the only decent OS available for

I used the CP/M-80 version for a while. It was pretty good except for
the bug in the assembler and its non-implementation of monitors (the

I heard that the MessySlop version evolved into the shareware FST
Modula-2.
