Hello, I'm sure this is a very frequently asked question but I can't see a FAQ posting so I'm asking. Can anyone recommend any good books covering an Introduction to Oberon right up to advanced features. I have learnt Modula-II so I could probably do without but I like to do these things properly. Thanks in advance. -- ======================================================================= | Peter Telford. |The world is your oyster; | | | | | Logitek Group Support.|But look at the size knife you have to take | | Ltss Ltd. |to an oyster to get at the pearl. | | England. | | |===================< Normal Disclaimers >============================|

There are too reports in FTP.
Try FTPing to 134.60.66.21 in the directory soft/oberon/ethz/doc. There are
four files ModToOberon.ps.Z, OberonGuide.ps.Z, OberonEBNF.ps.Z and OberonReport
.ps.Z.

I don't have a postscript printer to print them with, and I don't really relish the thought of going through the files with an editor and reformatting them by hand. One of them is 500k. -- .sig? What .sig? Ohhhh, *THIS* .sig. Jim, in the Land of the Lost. disclaimer: These are just opinions. If you want 'em, you can have 'em.

there are four files Mod2Oberon.ps.Z,...
I expected the files to be PostScript, but they look binary, what's
wrong?

Uncompress the files on your Unix machine using the command uncompress filename and then send the files to your PostScript printer.
