[comp.lang.modula2] Oberon Literature

brandis@iiic.ethz.ch (Marc Brandis) (10/26/90)

As far as I know, there is no book up to now about Oberon, neither the
system nor the language. I include a list of published papers that may
be worth to check for everybody that wants to learn something about 
Oberon.

As announced in this group before, there are Oberon ports (both system
and language) available from ETH via anonymous ftp. Currently supported
are the Apple MacIntosh II (68020 or higher) and the Sun SparcStation.
More ports are in the works. The ftp site has the Internet number
129.132.101.33, and you find Oberon in the subdirectory Oberon.
