I have not subscribed to this group before, so I have missed any previous
discussion of this, I am sure, much-asked question.

What is the best m2 compiler for the Sun 3? It must:
	- generate native code
	- be stable (not being beta-tested on paying customers)
	- be good at supporting low-level gunge (inc. cross-calling to
		assembler and C)
	- have good and well-documented libraries
	- specify its semantics a LOT better than Wirth's manuals do.

Price is not particularly important, quality IS. The last ounce of efficiency
in code generation is nowhere near as important as the absence of semantic
boobytraps.

Does this thing exist?
