Catch-22!
Ok, I made it easy for you guys. First, remember, this ONLY RUNS ON A
VAX! No Alphas, no IA64s. Sorry. You guys just go home...
1 - Grab the VMSINSTAL savesets that I made for you
$ COPY LEGATO::[.KITS]MODULA031.* []/LOG
2 - Install them (nominally, you should be logged in as SYSTEM to do this)
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL MODULA031 [<directory where you put the
Modula kits>]
3 - Answer the VMSINSTAL questions (just say YES to everything :-)
Ok, it's installed.
To compile something, e.g. the pretty formatter example from the M2
utilities -
$ DEFINE MOD$LIBRARY SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB.MODULA]
$ MODULA PRETTY
$ LINK PRETTY,SYS$LIBRARY:MODULA/LIBRARY
Ok, PRETTY.EXE is ready to run. Not too hard, right? With a little more
effort, you should be able to recompile the compiler if you want.
BTW, you need the "define mod$library ..." so that the compiler can find
the interface definitions for the standard libraries. If you plan to use
Modula a lot, you might want to stick this definition in your SYSTARTUP_VMS
file and make it global.
