- There is a Modula-2 compiler for OS-9. It is marketted by Real Time
- Associates in London, England. We sold it in the U.S. for a while.
- Contact Steve Collins at +44 81 656 7333 (voice) or +44 81 655 0401 (fax).
- Sorry I don't have an email address. Their modula-2 compiler is
- a serious (and expensive) product.
