The Gardens Point Modula (GPM) compilers are an ongoing development
project for the Programming Languages and Systems Group in the Faculty
of Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology.

Commercial GPM Modula-2 compilers are sold for a wide range of UNIX
platforms.  Front-ends have also been written for Oberon-2, C, and an
experimental OO language called Luna.

The GPM Modula-2 compilers for Linux, FreeBSD, DJGPP, EMX and MS-DOS
are available freely by ftp. Oberon-2 compilers are also available for
a number of the platforms.

The latest FreeBSD version is yet another port of the Linux version of
GPM. It is completely compatible with the Linux version in all respects.
Refer to the Linux release notes for any version specific information.

MANUALS
A complete documentation set has been put on-line, comprising:
        Library Reference Manual
        User's Guide to GPM
        Modula-2 Language Reference Manual
	Installation and release notes

MAILING LIST
Join the GPM mailing list by mailing to: majordomo AT dstc DOT qut DOT edu DOT au
with the body of the message containing: subscribe gpm

Any mail sent to gpm AT dstc DOT qut DOT edu DOT au will get automatically forwarded
to all subscribers on the list.


The compiler distributions have been placed into sub-directories by
operating environment.  The files in each sub-directory are prefixed
by the language.  Pick up the most recent one unless you have some
reason to want an older one.  Note that the GPM Oberon-2 distribution
requires files from the Modula-2 compiler, so you'll need to down-load
the modula- files as well for Oberon.
