Don't know what bits you're looking for, but somewhere I have Modula-2 for
VMS. It's all written in Modula-2, of course.
I suspect the VMS implementation don't help me with the missing bit for the RSX implementation, but thanks anyway.
Check MIM::DU:[MODULA2]README.TXT for the stuff that I've figured out about the compiler, as well as all the other files in that directory.

That would explain it.
Still, there should be more than an .A saveset.

It's SIMH. Ooops. Didn't realise I wasn't clear that it was virtual.
OK. Somewhere there was mention of VAX-11/780... I know the real H/W. I
have never bothered with SimH.

That doesn't look like any VMS distro file I'm familiar with.
I'm not quite sure which tape image to use for this. ;)

The host is running on an iMac, the NT4 Server on a Macbook Pro.

That's the angry monkey from Family Guy. The host machine is a
PersonalAlpha running on Win2K3 server, with MULTINET.
I have to say that when XDM works on HP TCP/IP, it's a LOT more stable.
