Hi.

Can anyone tell me about a modula-2 compiler that generates
Solaris (x86/SPARC) and IRIX (Mips) code. What's going on
with modula - what's especially going on with GNU modula-2.
Is modula-2 death ?  Where are the rests of GNU modula ?

hi;

Did modula-2 (pascal or the other toyworld stuff) ever leaf the classroom ? I think
no ...

PS Forget about modula-2 (if its not connected to an class assigment) and try
   c,c++,java , smalltalk , objective-c or any other real-world language.

   => try sunsite.auc.dk or sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen for x86 and sparc
      software (don't know if they have modula ...)

Just a side note, Modula-2 evolved into Modula-3, and now the Oberon
language (including a newer oberon-2).  You can get information
regarding the latter at:

 http://ics.inf.ethz.ch/Oberon.html

The Oberon system consists of a langage which has features that
make it comparable to Java, and an operating system.  I think 
the software can be downloaded from the web site.

Modula-2 did not evolve into Modula-3. Modula-3 was a new language that was
given an unfortunate name.

Yes one can argue similarities but you can do the same with M2 <-> Ada <->
Pascal <-> C  and all these are considered different languages.
