Date: Tue, 30 Apr 91 16:52:17 GMT Despite the complaint that I received publicly in alt.sources from one individual, several hundred people told me they were glad that I posted the original Oberon-M compiler/documentation/sources package here. Apparently many locations wanted to use Oberon, but did not get all the newsgroups, or couldn't FTP, or something, and alt.sources was their only way of getting things -- particularly in the FIDOnet world. So, somewhere following this note I am posting version 1.1 of my Oberon-M package. It consists of 6 uuencoded files, and instructions for unpacking are at the front of the first one. For those of you who don't know, but are still interested, Oberon is the latest in the Algol-Pascal-Modula language line from Professor Niklaus Wirth. It has much cleaner, simpler, non-hiding concepts than its ancestors, plus has a unique type extension feature coupled with Object Oriented Programming principles. My Oberon-M package is for using Oberon as a language under any MSDOS environment on an Intel 80x86 based machine. Changes from version 1.1 include some changes to match Professor Wirth's revisions, has increased source examples to show off the new features, and better documentation. So, if you want it, look for six files following this one. Direct FTP is also available from a number of public locations. Please see my upcoming posting in comp.lang.modula2 or comp.compilers for a list of those locations. --E.
