I read the article on Oberon it the April issue of Byte. It looks pretty interesting, so I thought I would try to scrounge up a copy of the Macintosh version. Does anyone know an Internet site that accepts anonymous FTP, or a Fidonet board that would allow a File Request? -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!213!700.0!Brion.Lienhart Internet: Brion.Lienhart@p0.f700.n213.z1.fidonet.org

The primary distribution site for the official ETH implementation of Oberon for the Macintosh is neptune@inf.ethz.ch (129.132.101.33). It is also available from apple.com, BIX and various other sources, but only the ETH site is guaranteed to be up-to-date. On another issue: > It is somewhat regrettable that Niklaus Wirth left the issue of libraries so > open-ended that programmers cannot rely upon a minimal set of libraries from > implementation to implementation. I think we pretty well got that message. In Oberon, the standard set of libraries is definite and present in every implementation. These interfaces are general enough to offer virtually anything that one could want from an OS, but through a minimal set of orthogonal procedures. Martin Reiser's book "The Oberon System" is the definite specification of this interface (Addison Wesley, February 1991).

Never mind. I found a copy of macOberon 2 on apple and forwarded it to Info-Mac at Stanford. If any one on FidoNet wants it, I could make it available for FREQ, but the file is just over 1 MB, and I've only got a 2400 bps modem. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!213!700.0!Brion.Lienhart Internet: Brion.Lienhart@p0.f700.n213.z1.fidonet.org
