This isn't a free solution, but you can buy the "porting package" from
Dunfield Development Systems along with Micro-C.  This is the source
code to the whole system.  Most of Micro-C will port to Unix with
little or no modification.

I ported it to the Mac without too much difficulty.

Motorla distributes AS11 with source.  calvin.stanford.edu is our
friendly Internet site for Motorola's software (there is also
Motorola's analog phone line BBS at 512-891-3733 for those w/o e-mail
capability).

This too should be no problem to port.

You'll have to port the code to DLM to your NeXT machine.  The only
tricky part would be working out the serial line stuff.
