- Hello,
- I am in process(in very initial stages) of porting a subset of M3 on IBM-PC
- (386 and above using MS_DOS) with the help of DJGPP 32-bit c compiler (which
- does not support windows 3.1) but does support deskview. But I thought,even
- a subset of M3 would be very good for PC-world(no threads).
- Dr. Moss is writing a native compiler for modula-3 using gcc which would
- be easier to port then DEC M3(IMO).
- But it is fun anyway.
