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.
