The DEC Systems Research Center distributes SRC Modula-3.
The DEC Western Research Laboratory distributes WRL Modula-2.
The two compilers are quite different.

SRC Modula-3 compiles to C.  Its runtime requires only vanilla Unix
functionality (e.g. malloc, setjmp, open, read, write, ...).  The compiler
and library sources are freely ftp-able from gatekeeper.dec.com in
/pub/DEC/Modula-3.  We currently distribute versions of SRC Modula-3 that
run under Ultrix on VAXen and DECstation 3100s.  Others have ported the
system to SPARCstations and IBM PC/RTs.  We will distribute those versions
as soon as they are fully integrated.
