Some remarks on this:

- The MOCKA system (MOdula Compiler KArlsruhe) was developed at
  GMD Karlsruhe by Friedrich Wilhelm Schroeer, Dirk Schwarz and
  Franz Engelmann. GMD is a German national research center on computer
  science.
 
- The German company that is (or it seems should be) selling
  the MOCKA system is
 
    2i Industrial Informatics GmbH
    Haierweg 20e
    D-7800 Freiburg i.Br.

    Phone: (49) 761-42257

- GMD itself is not able to provide customer support and service.
  Scientific institutions can obtain an unsupported version of the
  MOCKA system directly from GMD. For details contact
