While editing the Modula-2 survey I realized that the MOCKA compiler
has been ported to both Ultrix environments.  If I remember correctly,
there were a few requests for this earlier this year and I don't
recall MOCKA being mentioned.

From the M2 survey:

  (b) MOCKA - Modula-2 Compiler Karlsruhe

	(a) GMD Gesellschaft fuer Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung mbH
	(b) Juergen Vollmer, Helmut Emmelmann
	(c) GMD Forschungstelle an der Universitaet Karlsruhe
	    Vincenz-Priessinitz-Strasse 1
	    D-7500 Karlsruhe 1

	    Email: vollmer@karlsruhe.gmd.dbp.de / vollmer@gmdka.uucp
	           emmel@karlsruhe.gmd.dbp.de / emmel@gmdka.uucp

	(d) Sun-3, Sun-4, NeXT, MIPS, VAX, Transputer (T800, T414)
	(e) SunOS, Mach, Unix, Ultrix, VMS
	(f) US$ 250 (for noncommercial usage)
	    US$ 2000 (for commercial usage)
	(g) - implements 3rd Edition
	    - coroutines are supported
	    - access to procedures written in other languages
	    - 33,000 lines/minute on DEC 3100 workstation
	    - has automatic "make" facility, module dependencies are
	      derived from the sources

SFSU has ordered a VAX 6420 Ultrix system and the CS Dept. plans to use
this compiler in many of its courses.   Could peopl who have used MOCKA
with students please comment on its good and bad points (if it has any).

Thanks in adavance for your feedback.
