Title : Oberon-A v1.2, freely-distributable compiler
Keywords: OBERON OBERON-A COMPILER WIRTH MOSSENBOCK LANGUAGE
Oberon-A v1.2 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 Mossenbock. Oberon-A is an
implementation of the language for the Amiga computer. The archive
contains the compiler, a pre-link utility, a linker and a programmer's
environment. A complete interface to the Amiga operating system (2.04+)
and a collection of library modules in source code form is provided.
AmigaDOS 1.3 or higher.
Larry,
Do you know if this is this a proper fully functioning Oberon implementation?
I have seen F.Siebert's shareware version, but its price is a bit too much for
me.
I would really like to do some work on the Amiga with Oberon, but I am not
really willing to muck around with something incomplete or crippled.
BTW, I am not quite sure, is it alright to post questions to this section of
the forum?
Thanks

Don't know how 'complete' this version of Oberon is, Alex. I have never
actually used it.
Yes, posting question about file in the LIBs is fine in this section.

PMFJI, If you mean the file OBERON.LHA, I have downloaded and installed
this. I haven't got past the "Hello World" stage in programming with it
yet so I can't comment on it's reliability.
According to the documentation it is an Oberon-2 compiler with no
artificial restrictions or crippling, and it includes all the files needed
to interface with the Amiga OS version 2.04. It is distributed under the
same terms as the GNU licence, which means you don't have to pay for it
but there are no guarantees about what it will do.
