No problem on Linux/sparc or Linux/powerpc.

I forgot to mention:

 This was on an actual PPC machine. I /assume/ it can be reproed under emulation on x86 but I didn't try.

 

> big endian

 

I could try out my HP-UX/hppa machine again. :)

  Seriously it was working. I also had Linux/hppa running, but not Modula-3.

 

I have some bids on eBay for some Mac/68K machines. :)

 

I don't think I have seen on this Linux/sparc or Linux/ppc, but I will definitely try those.

  I don't remember if I tried.

They are up and running well, even in Hudson.

I can give you ssh access to all/several of these, send me your ssh public key.

Could do OPEN/NETFREE/BSD/sparc/ppc too, with a little more time.

 (FreeBSD/ppc is a pain to install -- no partitioner -- and I haven't succeeded, but Net/Open are easy.)

OK, thanks.  I think we can track this down easily.  Perhaps an endianness issue?  Both are big-endian whereas Intel are little.  I'm not sure what other big-endian platforms M3 has ever run on, so perhaps this is a dark and dusty corner...

I can confirm that formsedit fails on PPC_DARWIN too. The same as on Solaris/sparc32.
Juno and Cube work fine.
Current source.
