I looked at a copy of the "Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters"
and didn't find anything.  However, the copy that I have is probably
old (Version: 5.2, Last-modified: 1993/10/03).  You might take a look
at a newer version.  Below is an excerpt from it that tells a little
about it and where to get it.
