Hi all,
This posting is to let you know that some of the Gardens Point Modula (GPM)
Modula-2 compilers are now available on the net.
The GPM compilers are an ongoing development project for the Programming
Languages and Systems Group in the Faculty of Information Technology at
the Queensland University of Technology.
The Gardens Point compilers are based on seperate front and back-ends
connected by a language independant intermediate representation called DCode.
Front-ends have been written for Modula-2, Oberon-2, C, and an experimental
object oriented language called Luna. A Sather frontend is near completion.
Native code back-ends exist for the Intel i386/i486 chips (under SVR4, Linux,
DJGPP, Windows-NT and OS/2), SPARC under Solaris, MIPS R3000 under Ultrix,
and most recently for Digital's Alpha-AXP under OSF/1. There is also an
MS-DOS version based on interpreted DCode available. This provides a full
32-bit compiler on any PC running MS-DOS (at rather reduced speed).
The GPM Modula-2 compilers for Linux, DJGPP and MS-DOS are available by
anonymous ftp from pluto.fit.qut.edu.au:/pub/gpm_modula2. Various papers as
well as the DCode reference manual can be down-loaded from /pub/papers.
A GPM mailing list has been set up. To join the mailing list, send mail to
majordomo@dstc.qut.edu.au with the subject line blank and the body of the
message containing:

info gpm
end
Any mail sent to gpm@dstc.qut.edu.au will get automatically forwarded to
all subscribers on the list. The development team are of course subscribers.
We hope to hear from you!
