- Subject:New Oberon-M (1.1)

- Despite the complaint that I received publicly in alt.sources from
- one individual, several hundred people told me they were glad that
- I posted the original Oberon-M compiler/documentation/sources
- package here. Apparently many locations wanted to use Oberon, but
- did not get all the newsgroups, or couldn't FTP, or something, and
- alt.sources was their only way of getting things -- particularly
- in the FIDOnet world.
-
- So, somewhere following this note I am posting version 1.1 of
- my Oberon-M package. It consists of 6 uuencoded files, and
- instructions for unpacking are at the front of the first one.
-
- For those of you who don't know, but are still interested,
- Oberon is the latest in the Algol-Pascal-Modula language line
- from Professor Niklaus Wirth. It has much cleaner, simpler,
- non-hiding concepts than its ancestors, plus has a unique
- type extension feature coupled with Object Oriented Programming
- principles.
-
- My Oberon-M package is for using Oberon as a language under
- any MSDOS environment on an Intel 80x86 based machine.
-
- Changes from version 1.1 include some changes to match
- Professor Wirth's revisions, has increased source examples
- to show off the new features, and better documentation.
-
- So, if you want it, look for six files following this one.
- Direct FTP is also available from a number of public locations.
- Please see my upcoming posting in
- comp.lang.modula2 or comp.compilers for a list of those
- locations.
