Duncan,

	I have been working on this project in my spare time for the last
year now.  My compiler is a four pass compiler implemented using yacc and
lex in C.  Translating Modula-2 to C is a lot easier than translating C
to Modula-2.  I am generating a very portable C as per J.E. Lapin's new
portable C book.  If you are interested in more information send me email.
