Ok, I made it easy for you guys.   First, remember, this ONLY RUNS ON A
VAX!   No Alphas, no IA64s.   Sorry.   You guys just go home...



OK, that was easy :) 

Installed on HILANT:: now.


Ok, it's installed.

To compile something, e.g. the pretty formatter example from the M2
utilities -

$ DEFINE MOD$LIBRARY SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB.MODULA]
$ MODULA PRETTY
$ LINK PRETTY,SYS$LIBRARY:MODULA/LIBRARY

I made a .COM file to do that, i.e.:

$! MOD2.COM - Compiles a Modula-2 file
$ DEFINE MOD$LIBRARY SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB.MODULA]
$ MODULA 'P1'
$ LINK 'P1',SYS$LIBRARY:MODULA/LIBRARY

And then a symbol pointing at it.

But that's just how I roll.
