<div>Hi!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> At first: there are exist 3 or 4 excelent working emulators of DEC Alpha.</div><div><br /></div><div> They can run OS Ultrix.</div><div>( Personally I have installed Ultrix in free version in one of these emulator).</div><div><br /></div><div> As I known Ultrix is more modern version of OSF/1.</div><div>I.e. it's simple marketing renaming.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> Why we need support DEC Alpha in Modula-3:</div><div>CPU DEC Alpha is only 64bit CPU for this we have BURG grammar.</div><div><br /></div><div> We have lcc C langage compiler based BURG.</div><div>We have in pm3 some support for lcc.</div><div><br /></div><div> We have mBURG writed on Modula-2 ( and worked m2tom3).</div><div><br /></div><div> We have public source </div><div>code XDS Modula-2/Oberon-2 use iBURG grammar.</div><div><br /></div><div> I hope that creating "XDS Modula-3 for DEC Alpha" is relative practical way to create 64bit optimising compiler based on Modula-2 or Modula-3.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Best regards, Victor Miasnikov</div><div><br /></div><div>07.03.2021, 05:34, "Jay K" <jayk123@hotmail.com>:</div><blockquote><div dir="ltr">

We have some small hacks for OSF/1 and Ultrix. To get errors in networking code.</div>

There are at least two copies of it.</div>

Maybe time to remove them?</div>

Anyone really running these systems and can confirm they are working and/or desired?</div>

OSF/1 probably does work but I doubt anyone is using these systems, really.</div>

I would keep the m3core.h OSF/1 support and config files, but I'd remove the TCP hacks.</div>

I ran Modula-3 on OSF/1 briefly around 2010 at this list's request to make it work (see m3core.h).</div>

I ran Ultrix but not Modula-3 on it over 20 years ago.</div>
