There were a couple of 68k Modula 2 compilers that worked OK on the old 
Macs back in the day. I haven't kept track of which M2's would work on 
the modern Intel based ones. Mocka might be a reasonable place to start.

The reason nobody answers is that there is hardly anyone left...

I still follow this group but I haven't done any serious development in 
M2 now for more than two decades. The world has moved on!

XDS works pretty well on Intel and Windoze.
