Hi Robert,

please can you email me the results of your configure. I'd be
very surprised if it didn't configure on a Linux distro. It
builds on (at least these platforms):

I tried to get Gnu-Modula-2 working. It's impossible for the rest of us.

With all due respect, Gaius, I found your instruction impossible to
follow, and you never answered an email I sent asking for more help.

Well, we Germans have to learn English, too ... ;-]

The ,,original'',

http://www.info.uni-karlsruhe.de/~modula/index.php

seems to be in English.

Note that the original demands md/mi file endings. FUB modified the
code to accept def/mod endings. As for the linguistically challenged,
an automatic translation service such as Google or Babblefish renders
a usable translation of the installation instructions at
http://lwb.mi.fu-berlin.de/mocka/installation.html . At any rate, if
you have XDS, you probably need not look further (unless you need a
PIM-compliant compiler).
