Oberon 2.2
==========

I'm pleased to announce the availability of OBERON 2.2 from ETH Zurich.
Oberon may be obtained via anonymous ftp from neptune.inf.ethz.ch (129.132.101.33)
for the machines listed below.
All implementations except MacOberon contain the Oberon-2 language extensions
as described e.g. in /Oberon/Docu/Oberon2.Differences.ps.Z .
Please see the various "readme" files for further documentation.


implementation: directory
  company, machine, cpu, OS, graphics library

DECoberon: /Oberon/DECstation
  Dec, DECstation, MIPS R2000, Ultrix, X11

MacOberon: /Oberon/MacII
  Apple, Macintosh, MC 68020, MacOS, QuickDraw

POWERoberon: /Oberon/RS6000
  IBM, POWERstation, RS/6000, AIX, X11

SPARCoberon: /Oberon/SPARC/Oberon.2.2
  Sun, SPARCstation, SPARC, SunOS 4.1.1, X11 or pixrect


The primary source for documentation about the Oberon system is:

M. Reiser, The Oberon System, User Guide and Programmer's Manual
Addison-Wesley, 1991, ISBN 0-201-54422-9
(Note that hardware specific details like screen bitmap organization
or timer resolution may differ between implementations).

Additional documentation is available as compressed postscript
files in /Oberon/Docu .


Oberon is both, a programming language and a programming system designed
by N. Wirth and J. Gutknecht at ETH Zurich.

The language Oberon evolved from Modula-2 with some modifications:
- definition and implementation merged into one document
- type extension (for object-oriented programming)
- support for runtime type tests
- type inclusion for numeric types
- string operations
- enumerations and subranges dropped
- Oberon-2: type-bound procedures, read-only export, open arrays

Compilers
- generate native code
- speed: about 1000 lines per sec on a SPARCstation 1
- no separate linking step required

System
- single-process multi tasking
- garbage collection
- multiple module entry points (commands)
- runtime linking
- tiled windows
- texts as built-in abstract data type
- extensible tools for text and graphics editing

Oberon has been used for education, personal computing, and program
development at ETH Zurich for more than three years now.
