Oberon-2 is a modern object-oriented language designed by Niklaus Wirth, the creator of Pascal and Modula-2, and Hanspeter Mvssenbvck. Oberon-A is an implementation of the language for the Amiga computer, ported from a compiler written by Niklaus Wirth. The archive contains the compiler, a pre-link utility, a linker (BLink) and a programmer's environment. A complete interface to the Amiga operating system (version 2.04) and a collection of library modules in source code form is provided. Documentation is in AmigaGuide and plain ASCII formats. The full source code for the compiler and utilities is available in a seperate archive. Release 1 is a preliminary release with a limited module library and requires testing. FEATURES - The compiler directly generates MC68000 machine code in standard AmigaDOS format object files. - Both ALink and BLink can be used to link object modules and support for other linkers will be progressively added. - A garbage collector for memory (with some limitations) is built in to the run-time support code. - Language extensions include: - Escaped characters in strings (big deal :-)); - Support for BCPL and C pointers. - Inline calls to Amiga system libraries; - Vararg parameters to pass tag lists to Amiga library calls (next update). - The compiler is currently CLI-only, but a programmer's environment utility provides Workbench access. - Interactive and batch compilation is supported. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Oberon-A requires 1MB of memory and a hard disk is strongly recommended. A text editor is required and must be obtained seperately. HOST NAME Oberon-A has been uploaded to AmiNet. It is available from ftp.wustl.edu, archie.au and other AmiNet sites. DIRECTORY ftp.wustl.edu:/pub/aminet/dev/obero archie.au:/pub/micros/amiga/aminet/dev/obero FILE NAMES Oberon-A_1.x.lha Oberon-A_1.x_src.lha x is the update number, currently 2.
