I hate to bring this up again, but pascal is NOT available for MINIX.  It is
available for MINIX-PC, which is not the same thing at all.

The last time I looked (and finally gave up trying to get anyone to sell it
to me) TransMediair had pascal available for the PC, and C sources available
for both PC and 68k.  

I have never seen a version of Modula-2 for either the PC or 68k.  I had a go
at it for the ST some time ago using the generic ACK Modula-2 sources, but
gave up because there are a lot of sizeof(int) problems in the compiler
source.  I suppose these days that I could try again using gcc to produce the
compiler (for those who don't know, the Modula-2 compiler is written in C), but
I'm pretty sure that the legal position of the resulting code would be pretty
hairy.
