Well I don't know if M2Amiga is based on the ETHZ Modula-2 Compiler, but one
thing I do know is that the ETHZ Modula-2 compiler was originally on the
Mac.  The binary code for it has been brought over to the Amiga and will
run on the Amiga using a special loader file.  I believe it (the compiler)
can be found on Fish Disk #24.  You can order Fish disks from Amazing
Computing.  Also this months issue (Vol 3 Num 3, I think) has a review
of the Benchmark-2 compiler for the Amiga.  It's a review of the release 
version not the Beta Release, so some things in it may not apply.

(I personally have the Beta Release...  Now if only we could get a SDB...)
