I would like the source of 'm2make'.   Is it freely available?

Also, is there a Modula-2 pretty-printer available?

The new SemperSoft Modula-2 compiler for the Macintosh comes with a Pretty
Printer (including source).  It's pretty vanilla (no Mac interface) and is
derived from a Pascal pretty-printer by a fellow at Shell Oil.  There is also
a makefile maker in the package, but I don't believe the source is included
for that one.

PMI in Oregon sells a variety of tools for Modula-2, including a macro
pre-processor.  I don't remember specifically seeing any pretty printers
or make utilities in their library, but I wouldn't be surprised.  

Their stuff is of good quality and *very* reasonably priced.

[Barry:  when can we expect a Modula-2 standard out of BSI, by the way?]

I second Alan's remarks!  I've been using PMI's Repertoire windowing
package for over a year now with great success.  It's part of a product
that I've written which is commercially available and selling well,
due in part to the PMI package.

The guys at PMI are helpful and very interested in what you're doing.

My only complaint?  Repertoire uses (actually, is BASED on) linked list
data structures and if your compiler (are you listening, Logitech?) does
lousy pointer transformations, your application CAN suffer.

I'm beta testing a new Modula-2 compiler (can't say who) for the PC and
they do a MUCH better job of dealing with pointers, so Repertoire is
pretty nifty on it.  If this Modula-2 compiler appears on the market in
any reasonable time frame (as I expect it will), that combination will
be pretty awesome!

Too bad 'this company' didn't release their product before Logitech
introduced their excluding linker...
