The Book 'A Compiler Generator For Microcomputers' by P Rechenberg and
H Mossenbock (Prentice Hall 1989, ISBN 0-13-155136) presents Coco an
LL(1) parser generator.  The book includes a complete listing of the
Coco source code.  A machine readable version may be available for the
IBM-PC from the publishers.

I believe that Lee McLoughlin <lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk> has modified standard
YACC to produce Modula-2, contact him directly for more details.
