              Amiga Oberon 3.00 (limited Version)


Preface:

  This is a freely distributable demo  version  of  a  powerful  compiler  for
  Oberon-2. Oberon-2 is one of the most modern object-oriented languages. It's
  the   latest   development  of  Prof.  Dr.  Niklaus  Wirth  and  Prof.   Dr.
  Hanspeter Mössenböck of the ETH  Zürich.  This language  was  designed  with
  the aim to increase the power of Modula-II and to  extend  it  with  object-
  oriented facilities while reducing its complexity. To achieve this,  Oberon-
  2 was extended with the concept of type- extension,  which  enables  object-
  oriented programming comparable to Smalltalk or C++.


Special features of Amiga Oberon:

  - parallel incremental garbage collector
  - runtime source-level debugger
  - BLink compatible object files
  - fast compilation
  - optimized code
  - language extensions to access AmigaOS
  - powerful editor
  - much more...
