Sorry, for a 1-year old news, may be it will be useful:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Source code for the Lilith's single pass Modula-2 compiler has been recovered. Jos Dreesen informes: "I managed to extract the sourcecode for the Lilith's single pass Modula-2 compiler from the harddisk of the Lilith on display in the Museum of Kommunikation in Berne / Switzerland. This singlepass compiler was used as the basis for many followups : the IBM RT port, Macintosh port and and...".

The third Lilith Modula-2 compiler was released in 1985. It is a single-pass compiler developed by J. Gutknecht and N. Wirth and compiles about four times faster than the earlier multi-pass compiler. The single-pass compiler is also significantly smaller than the older 4/5 pass compiler.

The source code went missing for many years but was eventually located in Nov 2021 by Jos Dreesen, the designer of the remarkable Lilith emulator EmuLith.
