Someone reached out to me and let me know about the problem with the M2 archive. I've noted the corruption in the original
description and added the new version I was sent to the Languages section.

Thank you for updating (I don't see it yet, but presume it will show up) -- I found the corruption, but I was not the one to reach out to you! Thank whoever that was too (guessing it was probably Wayne Hortensius)!

I wonder if you could run crc's on the posted material and publish the crc next to the archive? That would
make identifying issues a wee bit easier. I had downloaded, installed, and was working with the Modula 2 package, ran across the error, re-downloaded the archive, compared against my copy (the same), then posted
a request for a "known good copy". Wayne Hortensius identified the one bit in LIBRARY.MCD that was different,
I patched my copy and tested.

Having a published CRC would allow your published package to become canon. Bit rot is always an issue...
