- Right now nothing is available but this is certainly not impossible. You
- need the compiler to work under MS-windows or, more likely, Windows NT.
- With the linear address space offered by Windows NT it should be easier to
- port DEC SRC Modula 3 or the upcoming GNU Modula 3. Then you also need
- Trestle to support Windows NT. The X code in Trestle is well separated
- since it has already been ported from the Firefly/Topaz experimental
- workstation. The people at DEC SRC even mentioned the possibility of doing
- the port when Windows NT comes out (Windows NT should be supported on DEC's
- Alpha architecture).
