Where can I find a detailed specification of Oberon, Object-Oberon, and the Oberon Operating System (if there is one - I understand there is?)? Brad Pepers

The July 1988 issue of Software-Practice and Experience contains two articles by Wirth on Oberon: From Modula to Oberon The Programming Language Oberon Eric Marshall Software Productivity Consortium SPC Building 2214 Rock Hill Road Herndon, VA 22070 (703) 742-7153 CSNET: marshall@software.org ARPANET: marshall%software.org@relay.cs.net

I believe that the next issue of "Structured Programming" magazine (spring issue, I think) will contain an article on Object Oberon.

Does anyone know where I can obtain information about the language Oberon? Specifically, I'm looking for a reference manual and a description of the language (EBNF or whatever). Thanks in advance, Dan

Check From Modula to Oberon Wirth Software -- Practice and Experience July 1988 and The Programming Language Oberon Wirth Software -- Practice and Experience July 1988 One's the intro, the other a language spec. Further, an explanation of the primary new idea is in Type Extensions Wirth Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) April 1988 The language has been revised since the SP&E papers, but I'm not sure if the revision has been published. Finally, I'm a fan and will be glad to correspond. -- Preston Briggs looking for the great leap forward preston@titan.rice.edu

Many thanks to all who provided me with information about Oberon. Dan

I understand that Niklaus Wirth has designed a language since Modula-2 called Oberon. Is that true? If so, where can someone read about it? How does it compare to Modula-2? Email please. Thanks! Dan Allen Apple Computer

Hi. I'm a CS student, and I've heard that N. Wirth developed a new object-oriented languaje. A friend of mine even claims that he's got the compiler (I expect he'll give it to me this Monday). How much of this is true? Where can I get documentation of this languaje? I'd really appreciate any help/comments on this. Thanks in advance Eugenio Sanchez py198723@academ01.mty.itesm.mx jsanchez@roxette.mty.itesm.mx py198723@mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx
