If that means that he is looking for an Oberon compiler may you post where it can be reached.. thanks juan pablo

The only Oberon compilers I know of are the ETH compiler for MacII and Sparc. Though in the documentation says that source code is available.

However, if it means that you are looking for an Oberon compiler, then you may look at ETH. As far as I know, ETH is the only supplier of Oberon compilers up to now. Besides the original Oberon compiler and system for the Ceres workstations, there are versions for SPARC-workstations and for the Apple MacIntosh II. Some more ports are in the works, but a port to the Amiga is very unlikely to occur. Both the SPARC-version and the Mac-version are available through anonymous ftp. I do not remember the internet addresses, so if you are interested, mail to templ@inf.ethz.ch for the SPARC system and to franz@inf.ethz.ch for the Mac system. (* I speak only for myself.

I have known that the people that made M2Amiga (Interface Technologies in US) have been working on a new compiler for quite some time now. Tentative price : 340 SFr ($250), not sure about that. Is that "a good and cheap" offer ? D. Kohler Institute of Physics University of Basel Switzerland

(Does somebody know a good (cheap) Oberon compiler for the amiga? ) There is a demo version of an Amiga oberon compiler on the AMOK disk #36. AMOK is the "Amiga Modula and Oberon Klub" in Stuttgart, Germany. One of the guys, Frithjof Siebert (hope I didn't spell him too wrong), wrote the oberon compiler (or did he port it from the ETH version?) and added Amiga-specific libraries. The compiler seems to support full oberon, except that the run time system doesn't do garbage collection. What I don't know is, whether the feature of selectively calling "commands" from any module is supported or not (I don't think so, because when linking you have to specify the main module...) There are some quirks with the demo version: It doesn't run on mondays, it doesn't run the 10th, 12th, 14th ... time started and the code length and the size of string space is limited per module and I think you always have to click a requester to start it (no real batch mode). The full compiler will be available from the A&L AG in Grenchen, Switzerland, who are the ones, who also distribute the M2Amiga compiler for the Amiga in Europe. Announced date of delivery (in Europe): October 1990. Price given (in a German magazine): 340,-DM (that's about 200$). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Tensi, Institut fuer Informatik, Technische Univ.
