You must mean the _other_ Modula-2 port to CMS, not mine. I had Dick
Karpinski to harass me :-) after I presented it at MODUS and USUS. Ah,
memories! If anyone wants my compiler and runtime system I'm sure I can
dig it up. I added libraries to access CP and CMS functions for systems
programming; I even did a VMCF interface. But REXX made that use-case
superfluous.
Gee, I didn't know you did one. I was working with one that was done in the
Netherlands around 1989 -- I seem to remember Andy Tannenbaum having
something to do with it. Probably one of his students or post-docs. If you
want, I can put it up for FTP or other downloads -- I'd like to have a look.

Yup, I did one around that time. Alas, Modula-2 on mainframe got little
traction. Market forces, plus some self-inflicted wounds inside the M2
community (like: "let's change the language spec for type casting so
code that compiled cleanly before the change still compiles but does
something different". That was pretty much the last straw for me) Still,
it was a fun project for me to do in my :"spare time" to keep relevant
neurons from rusting.
I'll dig out the VMARC files and post it to the H390-VM group on Yahoo,
as some people there expressed interest once upon a time.
regards, Jeff
