Modula2 port? GNU Modula2?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

  Ah, yes.  Thanks for your reply.  I'll make a bug report against obc, as
it just now failed to install, but thank you so much for the hint that obc
exists.  I missed it in my searches for compilers (admittedly my search was
not thorough enough!).

  I would have liked an Algol-W port as well, but. oh well.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
