Note that the 3B2/300 is not a MC680X0 machine.  It has AT&T's WE32000
series chip in it.  I just heard today of a public domain Modula-2
compiler for the AT&T 3B2/400 developed at Oxford U. in Great Britain.
I will be getting more details in the near future, and will post them
to this news group at that time.  If anyone else knows about its
availability, I am sure there are a number of people on the net who would 
like to hear about it, so please post the information.  By the way, it
shouldn't have any problems running on the 3B2/300 since the 300 and 400
are binary compatible.
