The following announcement, which I suppose refers to the same version of
modula2, was posted a while back.  I snarfed the files shortly thereafter,
but have never gotten around to playing with them.

|I have ported a one-pass Modula-2 compiler to the good ol' 7300.  It
|generates a COFF file that is linked with "ld", and uses the shared C
|library.  It is available for anonymous FTP from hotel.cis.ksu.edu
|(129.130.10.12) in pub/UNIX/UnixPC/mod2+IN.Z.  This is a compressed cpio
|file in installable format.  It includes binary of the compiler and source
|for the libraries.  It ends up in /usr/local and below, so that must be in
|your search path to use it.  Documentation is in /usr/local/lib/mod2/doc
|after installation.  There are a few things that still don't work right,
|but students here have been using it for 2 semesters now.  At some point, 
|I intend to do more work on it, but my list of things-to-do doesn't seem to
|get any shorter!  Have fun.
