Hi Seth,

I have the ETH Modula2 compiler version 3.2.2 from the home of the guru
himself.  It's available at several sites, including:

    <ftp://neptune.inf.ethz.ch/>
    <ftp://baikal.ethz.ch/pub/mac/RAMSES>

I am not sure if these sites are still functional.  In the UK try:

    <ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/info-mac/>

and navigate to the "development" directory.

It's not a bad implementation, but all the pre-written interfaces are designed
for an ETH system with graphical origin at bottom left (the Mac being top
left).  There are hints for developing a true Mac interface.  It's all freeware
except for the Medit macro editor which is shareware.

I have tried developing a true Mac interface as an interesting exercise to
learn more about the tool box.  Since I moved to System 7 it has got more
difficult.  I may yet abandon it!  

It realy depends on your needs.  Good luck to you.

Regards,    Shane.
