MacOberon is the Macintosh implementation of the Oberon System, an innovative computing environment created by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Niklaus Wirth is the creator of the Pascal and Modula-2 programming languages. The Oberon System is based on the Oberon programming language, the successor to Modula-2. The Oberon system is user-extensible to an extent that is unparalleled in traditional systems. The whole system may be viewed as an extensible Hypertext editor, to which a user may add commands (written in Oberon, a language very similar to Pascal) at any time. Version 2.0 of MacOberon is now available. This includes, among other things, complete documentation, a document editor, a graphics editor, an intelligent text editor, an Oberon compiler and many source programs. MacOberon is completely free. It runs on Macintosh II computers (or any other Macintosh that has a 68020 or 68030 processor). You will need about 1.5 Megabytes of free disk space for installing the system. MacOberon may be obtained via anonymous FTP from 129.132.101.33 - user: anonymous - password: your e-mail-address Michael Franz, Computersysteme, ETH Zurich, Switzerland -- Michael Franz franz@inf.ethz.ch +41-1-254'73'14 Computersysteme ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich Switzerland -- Michael Franz franz@inf.ethz.ch +41-1-254'73'14 Computersysteme ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich Switzerland
