- Here is a summary of the replies to my query about modula3 for RisciX
- or RiscOS. I am currently in the process of building a system on our
- R260. Will let interested people know how it goes.
-
- By the way the IP address for gatekeeper.dec.com is 16.1.0.2 and the files
- are in the directory pub/DEC/Modula-3/release.

- Modula-3 has been ported to RISCiX. There is a version of the Modula-3
- boot distribution labelled ARM. It is available by anonymous ftp from
- gatekeeper.dec.com. However, I have not tried to build it, mainly because
- there is a beta version of Modula-3 release 2.10 around and I am waiting
- for it to be released formally to replace the current version, 2.07. In the
- meantime, in case it interests you, there has been quite a lot of progress
- on GNU C for RISCiX, and that includes C++ and Objective-C. It *may* be
- ready in a couple of months. A few months later, there could well be a
- RISC OS version.

- He began porting the language, but did not finish... As I understand it,
- he still hopes that "one day..." - he might be willing to help.
-
- He went on to designing !StrongED2, the well-known shareware editor, and this
- has taken all his spare time since :-)
-
-
- Hope this helps...
