The GMD Modula-2 Compiler MOCKA is available for Linux at

ftp.karlsruhe.gmd.dein /pub/mocka/linux
sunsite.unc.eduin /pub/Linux/Incoming
tsx-11.mit.eduin /incoming

It will be moved from Incoming to appropriate directories, soon.

I have uploaded three packages:

mocka9301main.tar.gzincludes compiler binaries, library source,
documentation, manual page
mocka9301src.tar.gzincludes only the compiler source code (in Modula-2)
and the code selector description for BEG
beg.1.72.tar.gzBackend Generator BEG binaries, it generates
source code from the code selector description.


Features of MOCKA:
------------------

Generates native i386 code for Linux

Compiled Language:
- N.Wirth, Programming in Modula-2, 3.corrected Edition, 1984
- no FORWARD declaration needed for procedures
- short/long types for REAL,INTEGER,CARDINAL
- Standard Libraries: InOut, MathLib, Storage, etc.
- procedures declared in FOREIGN MODULES may be implemented in other languages
- full acces to operating system using FOREIGN MODULES
- no Coroutines (NEWPROCESS, TRANSFER)

Features of interactive (session) mode
- editor of your choice
- automatic determination of the compilation order
- automatic recomplation, if necessary
- textual error messages are shown together with the source program in
the editor

Other Features
- enable/disable of range of index checks
- debugging option


MOCKA is also available on SUN3 (68K), SUN4 (SPARC), DEC station (MIPS),
VAX, T800 Transputer.
