Description:	A modula-2 compiler for VAX and MIPS. A Pascal compiler for VAX is also included. The Pascal compiler accepts a language that is almost identical to Berkeley Pascal. It was originally designed and built by Michael L. Powell, in 1984. Joel McCormack made it faster, fixed lots of bugs, and swiped/wrote a User's Manual. Len Lattanzi ported it to the MIPS.
Conformance:	extensions: foreign function and data interface dynamic array variables subarray parameters multi-dimensional open array parameters inline proceedures longfloat type type-checked interface to C library I/O routines
Restriction:	must pass changes back to Digital
Ports:	vax (ultrix, bsd), mips (ultrix)
