As found on https://m2amiga.claudio.ch/ - original readme following below:
M2AMIGA is a Modula-2 Compiler for the Commodore Amiga computer. It was sold
from 1987 to 1994 as versions 3.0 to 4.3. Version 1.x were beta versions
released prior to September 1987, and version 2.x were omitted to avoid any
confusion with the compiler released in 1986 on Fish Disk 24.
In November 2000 its authors René Degen, Claudio Nieder, Bernd Preusing,
Markus Schaub, Jörg Straube and its distributor A+L AG decided to make
available M2AMIGA as Open Source Software. In the spirit of the Abandonware
Petition we think that it helps nobody, if this software is kept closed.
To distinguish the open source version from the existing releases, the
version number was increased to 4.4 and all binaries were recompiled, to make
sure, they match the source.
Support
-------
The open source versions of M2AMIGA (4.4 and later) are not supported by A+L
AG. If you have questions or comments, you can send mail to

Download, Compile and Use
-------------------------
The current sources are in m2amiga-sources-4.4.zip. To be able to compile
them you need to have an older version of M2AMIGA and a SAS/C compiler if you
want to recompile also the m2emacs editor. The source distribution contains a
copy of the editor executable, for those who do not have a C compiler.
If you don't have M2AMIGA you can either fetch m2amiga-bootstrap-4.4.zip
which contains only the tools needed to compile above sources, or fetch the
full set of binaries by downloading m2amiga-binaries-4.4.zip.
To compile all the sources with an existing M2AMIGA:
unzip sources-4.4.zip
cd M2AmigaSrc-4.4
execute makeM2 targetdir
To compile all the sources using the bootstrap binaries:
unzip sources-4.4.zip
unzip bootstrap-4.4.zip
cd M2AmigaSrc-4.4
assign M2: M2
execute makeM2 targetdir
In either case, if you do not have the SAS/C compiler, you can simply comment
out the line "execute make" in makeM2.
To use the created M2AMIGA you need to
assign M2: targetdir
assign LIBS: M2: add
path M2: add
You can add these commands to S:user-startup so they will be executed each
time you reboot your Amiga. Read the online manual (german only) to learn how
to use M2AMIGA. It was generated automatically from the LaTeX sources, which
you can find in latexdoc-4.4.zip. If you want to install the html version
locally, please download htmldoc-4.4.zip.
