I would like to gather information on the availability of production
quality compilers for the 68010 and 68020 architectures; the
lanuages concerned are Fortran77 and Modula2.

I am interested in (at least) the following headings:

- Operating systems and machines on which the compiler runs.
- Quality of compile-time diagnostics and error-recovery.
- Quality of run-time diagnostics.
- Program development and debugging support.
- Speed and size of generated code.
- Resources required by the compiler.
- Deviations from and extensions to language standard.
- Contact address for supplier.
- Price (if known).

Please reply by mail; if you would like a summary of replies, let me
know - if there is a lot of demand I shall summarise to the net,
otherwise by mail.
