If interested, I can provide on request by email under the terms of the
ETHZ license (code developed at ETHZ) and GPL (my tem****ary stuff)
- the sources of the Modula-2 compiler for the Lilith architecture,
- its Lilith binaries,
- a Lilith-code interpreter in C which is capable of running the
Modula-2 compiler, and
- some additional tools (likewise in C).
I used them to cross-develop a Modula-2 compiler for another platform.
But beware this stuff is from 1983, i.e. it uses C code from dark
old times, and it was used just tem****arily until the new compiler was
able to compile itself on the new platform.
Unfortunately, I have no sources of the Medos operating system or its
tools. I replaced the implementations of low-level modules by traps into
the interpreter which emulated all those interfaces of Medos that
were required to run the compiler. Some Medos libraries like FileSystem,
FileNames, FilePool, and NewStreams are sup****ted in this way.
