In fact the one pass modula-2 compiler is by Wirth himself.  I read an
early manuscript of a paper  that he wrote  on the compiler.   He grew
frustrated  with slow compilers and  just sat down and   wrote a small
clean compiler which  is available from  Springer.  Besides,  you  can
always (I think) make a single pass compiler given enough memory.
