You can get the source of the RT-11 Modula directly from the ETH in
Zuerich or from DECUS (the compiler is on there tapes).
The compiler is written in Modula-2 and has a small system-dependent
kernel in machine-language.

But: If you are doing research projects on such a compiler, why don't
you use a compiler-generator (e.g. YACC)? This would be a much more
systematic approach, I think. Or why don't you read Wirth's book
about Compiler-Construction (in german: "Compilerbau") and build his
PL/0 compiler described there?
