According to papers filed with the bankruptcy court here in San Diego, SofTech Microsystems is trying to license all of Volition's existing Modula-2 compilers. Volition claimed some months ago that they were working on a p-code compiler for the Mac, but this project apparently has been abandoned (no technical staff). I have seen Volition's native code 68000 Modula compiler running on a Stride. I believe it's CP/M-86, and nobody wants to say how much work has to be done to put it Mac on a Mac. Ben Goodwin, President of SMS, indicated no plan to hire additional technical staff if they acquire the Volition products. [credit & plug] This information was gathered recently from public, but not particularly accessible, sources by my wife, who is Managing Editor at Structured Language World (Springer-Verlag).
