Hi all,

 This posting is to let you know that some of the Gardens Point Modula (GPM)
 Modula-2 compilers are now available on the net.

 The GPM compilers are an ongoing development project for the Programming
 Languages and Systems Group in the Faculty of Information Technology at
 the Queensland University of Technology.

 The Gardens Point compilers are based on seperate front and back-ends
 connected by a language independant intermediate representation called DCode.
 Front-ends have been written for Modula-2, Oberon-2, C, and an experimental
 object oriented language called Luna.  A Sather frontend is near completion.

 Native code back-ends exist for the Intel i386/i486 chips (under SVR4, Linux,
 DJGPP, Windows-NT and OS/2), Sun SPARC under Solaris, MIPS R3000 under Ultrix,
 and most recently for Digital's Alpha-AXP under OSF/1.  There is also an
 MS-DOS version based on interpreted DCode available.  This provides a full
 32-bit compiler on any PC running MS-DOS (at rather reduced speed). 
 
 The GPM Modula-2 compilers for Linux, DJGPP and MS-DOS are available by
 anonymous ftp from pluto.fit.qut.edu.au:/pub/gpm_modula2.  Various papers as
 well as the DCode reference manual can be down-loaded from /pub/papers.

 A GPM mailing list has been set up.  To join the mailing list, send mail to
 majordomo AT dstc DOT qut DOT edu DOT au with the subject line blank and the body of the
 message containing:
    subscribe gpm
    info gpm
    end

 Any mail sent to gpm AT dstc DOT qut DOT edu DOT au will get automatically forwarded to
 all subscribers on the list. The development team are of course subscribers.

We hope to hear from you!
