Sorry. The missing files are module spec files, and module file sources. 
So not the actual compiler itself, but for support routines.
I think I'm able to compile and build Module-2 programs, but I cannot 
even relink the compiler, which sucks, since the binary I have was built 
against an old 11M system, with FCS that do not understand named 
directories, for example.

I got this compiler and libraries from a site that is still running this 
in production, but their disk had crashed. So I rescued what I could, 
and got them back running. But because of a long story, I myself am 
missing those files. I think they exist at the site. I have a long 
standing plan to try and get them, but since I'm not even in the same 
country anymore, it's uncertain if/when it will happen.

It was written at Ericsson in Sweden. Why on earth it was called 
"Swedish Pascal" because of that I'm not sure.
