Well, thanks to all people who sent me info about Andrew.
About the question on the language: I just ported the Modula-2 version
to our VAX/Ultrix machine, without -I think- using any special VAX tricks.
(The modula compiler we use here is just another YACC-one.)
So it will be made PD (of course). I am thinking about rewriting it
to C, because I want to run it on the Acorn Archimedes, for
which there is no Modula-2 compiler available.

This brings me to another
question: Has somebody got \TeX (or, preferrably \LaTeX) running on an
Archimedes? I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has it
running on a 1Mb (A310) machine with a harddisk.
I think that, if I can get \TeX running on the Arc I'll rewrite DVItoVDU
in C (ANSI-C, that is) and post it here, if anyone is interested.

You'll here from me, when the Unix - Modula2 version is ready.
