- I've read the papers on Oberon by N. Wirth as published in _Software
- Practice & Experience_. Can anyone recommend to me a good book or
- books for learning Oberon?
-
- Something like PIM2 3ed was? (That's what I learned Modula from.)
-
- I've laid my grubbies on a copy of Ed Videki's Oberon-M compiler for
- DOS boxes. I found the standard IO to be positively bizarre, compared
- to what I was used to in M2's InOut and RealInOut.
-
- (That's no slam either to Oberon or the Oberon-M implementation. It's
- just that I'm no rocket scientist, and thus would greatly benefit from
- being able to get a good, basic Oberon reference.)
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Lou.
