Hmmmm... another candidate for the FAQ list ???
:-)

As far as I know, the Modula2 compiler was only suitable for internal
Acorn use... So it can be found somewhere in the misty backwaters of the
Acorn labs... but probably nowhere else :-(

Maybe somebody could persuade Acorn to do to the Modula2 compiler as they seem
to have done to the Pascal compiler??? Make it unsupported PD, then somebody
*might* turn it into a useable product???
