Note: all the info below is summarized from the project web
pages; I have no personal experience with TenDRA.
The original TenDRA project (sponsored by DERA) became
defunct in 1998. Patryk Zadarnowski has a copy of the
original web pages, but the download links are broken:

tendra.org now hosts a (very active) revival of the TenDRA
compiler, derived from the last DERA-sponsored release. All
the code is open-source, but all their new work is BSD-platform
specific. Just this month, they switched to a build system
that should allow re-porting to Linux.

They have links to their last 6 weeks of CVS snapshots.
Also, they have links to the 1998 DERA version that was
missing from Patryk's copy. This version supported Linux,
and several other platforms.

The Debian project has the 1998 DERA version pre-packaged:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/tendra.html
