According to the documentation I got with the ACK_Pascal compiler for
MINIX (see my previous message on that topic) there should be an ACK
Modula-2 compiler that could be easily ported to MINIX.  I once dis-
cussed that with Andy, but he thought there was not enough interest in
it...

About the shell: yes, a couple of them exist.

1.  Andrew Cagney's Clam Shell (TCsh clone).
2.  The newly posted Ksh plus MINIX-mods
3.  The new POSIX shell that one of the NLMUG people is writing for
    MINIX.  I am using that one now.  Delightful; all the nice features
    in one shell !
