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_1.5_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_1.5_lib.lha, which contains the source code for the library modules, Amiga interface and examples. Oberon-A_1.5_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_1.4.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 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 632 274 56.6% 26-Jan-95 12:55:46 Oberon-A.info 70166 24282 65.3% 25-Jan-95 22:00:44 oberon-a/Oberon-A.doc 471 242 48.6% 18-Jan-95 22:59:26 oberon-a/Oberon-A.doc.info 1700 901 47.0% 21-Dec-94 15:14:00 oberon-a/Oberon-A_1.5_bin.readme 1068 518 51.4% 25-Jan-95 22:08:54 oberon-a/Unpacking.readme 215033 215033 0.0% 26-Jan-95 14:38:56 oberon-a/bin1.lha 129159 129159 0.0% 26-Jan-95 14:42:24 oberon-a/bin2.lha 6656 4183 37.1% 13-May-94 17:43:58 oberon-a/c/Amigaguide 1478 671 54.6% 13-May-94 17:43:58 oberon-a/c/Amigaguide.info 89454 89454 0.0% 26-Jan-95 14:42:48 oberon-a/docs.lha 63840 37610 41.0% 13-May-94 17:43:12 oberon-a/libs/amigaguide.library 471 241 48.8% 26-Jan-95 14:37:52 oberon-a/Oberon-A_1.5_bin.readme.info 471 239 49.2% 26-Jan-95 14:37:34 oberon-a/Unpacking.readme.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 580599 502807 13.3% 26-Jan-95 12:54:52 13 files
