About a year ago I started on a quest for a version of Modula-2 
for my mac, and found MacMeth 3.2.2 and RAMSES and maclogimo.
To my dismay none of them were able to run under system 7.1 
with modern disk divers issued with system 7.1 
                (update your software before flaming me on this.
                 Use " Apple HD SC Setup " : current version 7.3.5 
                 Also issued with system 7.5 update 2.0 ie. 7.5.3)
The problem is in the system modules, 
you get bus errors on 040,and illegal instruction traps on 68000.
My computers; Classic, 475 and a 7200/90.
There is no code for this part of the system and without it 
nothing can be done to make a new system module 
with modern trap calls.
