I would like to point out two minor typo's in Wirth's introduction
to Oberon that lead to humorous results. On page 3 he gives statistics
on code size for the parts of his Oberon compiler. The correct table
should be:
length of length of time of self
source program compiled code compilation
----------------------------------------------------------------
lines characters bytes seconds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Parser 1116 36719 9928 11.53
Scanner 346 9863 3388 3.80
Import/Export 514 18386 4668 5.25
Code generator 1963 65901 21636 21.02
------ ------- ------- -------
Total 3939 130869 39620 41.60
Notice that only two digits have changed columns, but now the columns
add up correctly, and the statistics make more sense.
