To my knowledge there are no Modula-3 compilers for the Mac or PC. The
existing compilers are "bigger than a breadbox" and mostly Unix oriented. My
research group is developing a compiler based on gcc (i.e., a new front end
and some modifications to the back end). Since gcc now generates code for
MSDOS machines, there is some hope of seeing Modula-3 on PCs via this route
eventually, but don't hold your breath -- my project is being done on a shoe
string so release is not yet imminent (though we are making good progress).
