This directory contains recent versions of SRC Modula-3, the implementation of the Modula-3 language by the System Research Center, a research laboratory of Digital Equipment Corporation. The Modula-3 language is described in the "Modula-3 Report (revised)", available as a technical report from: System Research Center Digital Equipment Corporation 130 Lytton Av Palo Alto, CA 94301 USA This report is present in PostScript format in this directory, either in one piece as Report.ps, or in three pieces are Report{1,2,3}.ps. The SRC implementation of Modula-3 is distributed in the form of a compressed tar file, m3-.tar.Z. From this file, you can build versions for the following machines: VAX VAX running Ultrix 3.1 DS3100 DECstation running Ultrix 3.1 SPARC Sparcstation running SunOS 4.0.3 You can also bootstrap the system to other machines/os from this distribution (see the release notes). The distribution contains all the sources of the compiler, runtime and libraries, mostly in Modula-3, for all the available architectures. In addition, it contains the C files resulting from the compilation of the Modula-3 files for the various architectures (most of the files are identical and not replicated). For ftp convenience, the distribution is also available in parts, in the files m3-.tar.Z-. Each file (except the last one) is 512Kb long. You can just cat these files (in the right order) to rebuild m3-.tar.Z. Release-.ps is the PostScript version of the release notes. These notes describe the differences with the previous versions, how to install the release and how to use it. They are also available in TeX format within the distribution, in doc/doc.tex. You can send mail to m3-request@src.dec.com if you have trouble to access/uncompress/untar these files. Enjoy ! [ Note: The M314.TAZ file here is the m3-v14.tar.Z file mentioned in the document, just renamed. Rename it to M314.tar_z and then use compress -d m314.tar (using compress in the tools subdirectory of the index area) to decompress it. - Tape editor.]
