Smiler-2: Porting a Modula-2 compiler onto the IBM CS9000

This thesis describes the problems encountered and the solutions found in the develop­ment of a workable Modula-2 compiler on the IBM Instruments CS 9000 computer system. The project involves many considerations including aspects or the 9000, aspects or the Modula-2 system, the operating system interface, and the compiler's bootstrapping capability. I divide these into two large categories. The first is the porting or a Pascal written system to enable Modula-2 to be compiled and executed on the 9000, and the second is the furtber issue or getting a bootstrapping compiler, written in Modula-2 capable or compiling and linking itself.Supported in part through IBM ACIS Professional Workstation ContractU of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community indenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETDs
