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 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Archive: Oberon-A_1.6_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_1.6_lib.lha, which contains the source code for the library modules, Amiga interface and examples. Oberon-A_1.6_src.lha contains the source for the compiler and utilities, but is optional. This archive supersedes Oberon-A_1.5.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.
