Since I am (unfortunately) not a part of your network, what are the odds of you making the compiler available on a 360k floppy disk? (Yes, of COURSE I'd like to be tapped into internet.

As I don't have Internet access, would it be possible for me to send you diskettes in a prepaid mailer to obtain your compiler?
Thanx,

I would very much like a copy of Oberon, but am not too sure how to go about getting it!
Is it possible to file request it from some where?

I'm quite interested in seeing Oberon and trying it but am on Fido and not the internet (haven't been for a few years now; alas, living solely in the DOS world). If you can provide an address and mail stop I'll be glad to ship the requisite number of blank diskettes and/or reimburse you for the trouble. I can then, if you so desire, make it available via FIDONET, or not, as you wish.

I cannot understand what is wrong with the second question, so I would like to post it again with some modification: is it possible for one to obtain the compiler by U.S. mail? If so, could the U.S. mail address please be posted by Mr. Videki. It would also be interesting to know whether an FTP site has been established for people to obtain the compiler. I apologize to the newsgroup if the matters above have already been discussed ad nauseum, but I was on vacation for ten days and the news stories have all been deleted by our news software.

I've received a lot of requests again where to find the Oberon-M files. Here's a reprint of the information: How to get the Oberon-M package for the MSDOS environment. Some (but not all) of the network problems have been cleared up, so here is where you can obtain my Oberon-M package for MSDOS at your own fetching: 1) SIMTEL20 machine name: WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL Internet address: 26.2.0.74, 192.88.110.20 subdirectory: pd1:<msdos.pgmutl> file names: OBERONM.ZIP fetch how: anonymous FTP unpack how: PKZIP under MSDOS 2) UCSD machine name: ucsd, ucsd.edu, pop.ucsd.edu Internet address: 128.54.16.1 subdirectory: ~ftp/pub file names: oberonm.exe, oberonm.info fetch how: anonymous FTP unpack how: For oberonm.exe: binary transfer to MSDOS, then execute (self unzipping files) For oberonm.info: ascii transfer for human reading 3) ETH Zurich (may not be permanent) machine name: neptune.inf.ethz.ch Internet address: 129.132.101.33 subdirectory: Oberon/80186 file names: oberonm.exe, oberonm.info fetch how: anonymous FTP unpack how: For oberonm.exe: binary transfer to MSDOS, then execute (self unzipping files) For oberonm.info: ascii transfer for human reading *** Note: ETH has not tested this package extensively and does not claim or disclaim its validity relative to the ETH Oberon System. Keeping the files here is only being done as a courtesy to European users who want to fetch it from a closer location. It may become permanent in the future. 4) comp.binaries.ibm.pc machine name: Usenet newsgroup Internet address: N/A file formats: 5 uuencoded "mail" messages fetch how: capture the messages unpack how: Instructions are at the head of the first message. *** Note: at the time of this posting, comp.binaries.ibm.pc does not yet have the files publicly available, but is expected to relatively soon. 5) alt.sources (same as in comp.binaries.ibm.pc , but available here also by request from some users) --E.

If you do > not have access to alt.sources, then gripe to your news administrator, > not Mr. Videki!!! Let me explain something to you. What we have here is two networks (usenet and FidoNet) that are cross-linked. If you're accessing this echo through FidoNet (if you're on Usenet, you call it a newsgroup - same thing, almost) then you ONLY have access to comp.lang.modula2. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS alt.sources! I will agree that griping at Mr. Videki is not going to produce the desired results, but griping at SOMEONE might help. (Only, of course, if that someone has access to both Usenet and allows FidoNet File Requests.) As it happens, there IS a place where the file OBERONM.ZIP is FREQable from FidoNet (and he even likes points,) it's 1:397/2. One crotchet about the file: The documentation is in PostScript. While I am sure that those people accessing this from usenet all have 1200 dpi laser typesetters that talk postscript, most of the world doesn't have anything like that. In particular _I_ don't. It would have been nice to have a plain ASCII text file with the documentation so that I could simply print it out on my (out of date, but still hanging in there) MX-100. In any case, I'll get down off my soapbox now. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!106!506.25!Jon.Guthrie Internet: Jon.Guthrie@p25.f506.n106.z1.fidonet.org

RM> p Mr. Myers, I am reading the Modula-2 echo from fidonet, as stated in my previous message. Fidonet is the network of private BBS's round the world which carries all sorts of interesting echo's much like your UUCP. The Modula-2 echo is brought to us (I believe) by a fellow up in Portland, Oregon. He has the appropriate gateway software which allows you and I to communicate. We DO NOT get comp.lang.hardware.everthing.else, so file transfers are out of the question. Since my first request March 13th, Mr Videki has released his compiler. I believe it has been captured and will be available for distribution here on the Fidonet relatively soon. Please bear with us.
