It was not at all bad in 1985, though quite stale by now.  Aside from
rather fair language coverage (of PIM Modula-2) and the usual PVS-style
portability packaging, it allowed compilation host, target host, and
test-driver host to be separate.

Sadly, it is likely unavailable.  It was done for Hayes by a third party.
Hayes gave it to Georgia Tech.  Gatech licensed it to the BSI.  The BSI
has sat on it for 5-6 years.
