ETH Zurich announces MacOberon System 3 Release 2.04ß. 

MacOberon System 3 Release 2.04 is the first official distribution 
of the Oberon System 3 that runs both on customary 68k-based 
computers and on modern PowerPC RISC machines with native speed. 
For that purpose, we introduced a novel technique that we call 
SLIM BINARIES. Slim binaries are a new form of object files that 
contain no object code at all, but a portable description of a 
module's contents that makes these files completely independent 
of the eventual target machine. Object code generation is carried 
out on-the-fly by the module loader and depends on the underlying 
hardware!
In addition, we made some changes to adjust the MacOberon distribution
to the "Spirit of Oberon" distribution. These changes primarily 
concern a new common filenaming convention.
