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. Literature on Oberon -------------------- N. Wirth.
