-
- Oberon-A is a freely-distributable Oberon-2 compiler. Oberon-2 is a
- modern object-oriented language designed by Niklaus Wirth, the creator
- of Pascal and Modula-2, and Hanspeter Mössenböck. Oberon-A is an
- implementation of the language for the Amiga computer, ported from a
- compiler written by Niklaus Wirth.
-
- The archive contains the compiler, a pre-link utility, a linker (BLink),
- error lister, a programmer's environment, other utilities and
- documentation. The documentation is in AmigaGuide and plain ASCII
- formats. A text editor is *not* included.
-
- This archive is NOT the complete Oberon-A distribution. You must also
- obtain Oberon-A_1.5_lib.lha, which contains the source code for the
- library modules, Amiga interface and examples. Oberon-A_1.5_src.lha
- contains the source for the compiler and utilities, but is optional.
-
- This is release 1 of Oberon-A and is BETA software. If you don't like
- buggy software, wait for a future release. This archive supersedes
- Oberon-A_1.4.lha and incorporates all the bug-fixes and improvements
- made to date.
-
- *** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF EARLIER VERSIONS ***
-
- If you have a previous version of Oberon-A already installed, DO NOT
- unpack the sub-archives until you have read the "Updating" section in
- Oberon-A.doc. There have been major changes made in this update and you
- need to proceed carefully.
