Description:	In comparison to the Oberon Systems of ETH Zurich this system may be used like other traditional language systems (e.g. cc). It consists of a compiler, a makefile generator, a debugger, and a large library which has a system-independent kernel that supports exception handling, concurrency, synchronization, persistence, and distributed systems. The package contains a copying garbage collector. The compiler is written in Modula-2, the debugger in C, all other parts are written in Oberon. More informations may be found at http://www.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/oberon/
Conformance:	N. Wirth, ``The Programming Language Oberon'', SP&E July 1988 with some selective adaptions of later revisions. The compiler still requires the separation of definitions & modules like Modula-2.
Restriction:	The compiler and associated tools fall under the GNU CopyLeft, and the library under the GNU library general public license.
Ports:	Sun3/SunOS 4.1.1, Nixdorf Targon/31
Status:	Active -- will be ported to SPARC/Solaris 2.x
Announcements:	New releases will be announced in comp.lang.oberon.
Updated:	March 6th, 1997
