Short: A freely-distributable Oberon-2 compiler Author: fjc@wossname.apana.org.au (Frank Copeland) Uploader: fjc@wossname.apana.org.au (Frank Copeland) Type: dev/obero Archive: Oberon-A_1.4_bin.lha Distribution: Freeware, under the GNU General Public Licence Requirements: an Amiga with 1MB and Kickstart 2.0. A hard disk is highly recommended. Oberon-A is a freely-distributable Oberon-2 compiler. Oberon-2 is a modern object-oriented language designed by Niklaus Wirth, the creator of Pascal and Modula-2, and Hanspeter Mössenböck. 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), error lister, a programmer's environment, other utilities and documentation. The documentation is in AmigaGuide and plain ASCII formats. A text editor is *not* included. This archive is NOT the complete Oberon-A distribution. You must also obtain Oberon-A_1.4_lib.lha, which contains the source code for the library modules, Amiga interface and examples. Oberon-A_1.4_src.lha contains the source for the compiler and utilities, but is optional. This is release 1 of Oberon-A and is BETA software. If you don't like buggy software, wait for a future release. This archive supersedes Oberon-A_1.3.lha and incorporates all the bug-fixes and improvements made to date. *** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF EARLIER VERSIONS *** If you have a previous version of Oberon-A already installed, DO NOT unpack the sub-archives until you have read the "Updating" section in Oberon-A.doc. There have been major changes made in this update and you need to proceed carefully. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 28297 28297 0.0% 08-Aug-94 14:56:24 oberon-a/guienv.lha 39770 8834 77.7% 08-Aug-94 20:30:12 oberon-a/Index.doc 346 224 35.2% 08-Aug-94 17:39:18 oberon-a/Index.doc.info 42777 15817 63.0% 08-Aug-94 20:32:18 oberon-a/Oberon-A.doc 346 223 35.5% 08-Aug-94 17:39:16 oberon-a/Oberon-A.doc.info 1700 900 47.0% 08-Aug-94 17:44:14 oberon-a/Oberon-A_1.4_bin.readme 239 111 53.5% 08-Aug-94 17:39:14 oberon-a/Oberon-A_1.4_bin.readme.info 239 107 55.2% 08-Aug-94 17:39:12 oberon-a/Unpacking.readme.info 246620 246620 0.0% 08-Aug-94 20:54:40 oberon-a/bin.lha 59510 59510 0.0% 08-Aug-94 20:54:48 oberon-a/docs.lha 44352 44352 0.0% 08-Aug-94 20:47:58 oberon-a/OEL0_3.lha 67349 67349 0.0% 08-Aug-94 20:56:18 oberon-a/texts1.lha 1267 602 52.4% 08-Aug-94 20:54:02 oberon-a/Unpacking.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 532812 472946 11.2% 09-Aug-94 09:13:10 13 files
