There is another one, shipping *real soon now*; it is a port of an older
modula-2 compiler developed in Germany.
It is a nice system (I tried out the original Gepard version) not
needing a linker. Programs get linked to the library at load time. The
drawback ist the 350KByte system library that must be resident in memory
all the time....
