GROUP NAME 	comp.lang.oberon  STATUS 	unmoderated  CHARTER 	comp.lang.oberon (unmoderated) will be a newsgroup for discussion 	of all types of issues regarding the Oberon language and system.  RATIONALE 	Due to historical reasons, topics related to Oberon are currently 	being discussed in comp.lang.modula2. Not everyone may be aware of 	this fact and thus miss the discussion related to Oberon. Further, 	readers of comp.lang.modula2 might not like the "abuse" of their 	newsgroup. The creation of comp.lang.oberon solves both problems.  BACKGROUND 	Oberon is really three things: 	- the name of a project started by Proff. N. Wirth and J. Gutknecht 	  (both at ETH Zurich) with the goal of developing a modern and 	  portable operating system for personal workstations 	- a general-purpose programming language (the successor of Modula-2) 	  with type extension as its principal new feature  	  (The programming language Oberon-2, designed to make object 	  oriented programming easier, is a true extension of Oberon) 	- an extensible operating system, complete with a novel user           interface and associated software tools  	The Oberon system (including the Oberon compiler) is available as 	freeware via anonymous ftp from neptune.inf.ethz.ch (129.132.101.33) 	(directory 'Oberon') for the following machines: 	IBM PC (386 or better), Macintosh II (Apple), SPARC (Sun), 	DECstation/3100 and 3500, RS/6000 (IBM) 	(You'll also find some docu (including language reports) there)  SCHEDULE 	This RFD was issued on February  1 and will last for 30 days. If 	this RFD is approved, a CFV will be issued on March 4, and 	the voting period will end at 11:59 (MET), March 25. --  +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Christian Schaepper, Zurich, Switzerland      [email protected] | |                  DECnet (HEPNET/SPAN): EZINFO::SCHAEPPER (57413::SCHAEPPER) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+  From [email protected] Thu Mar 11 11:33:16 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: Christian Schaepper <[email protected]> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.lang.c++,comp.lang.eiffel,comp.lang.misc,comp.lang.modula2,comp.lang.modula3,comp.lang.objective-c,comp.object,comp.os.misc Subject: CFV: comp.lang.oberon Followup-To: poster Date: 11 Mar 1993 01:25:24 -0500 Organization: Dept.
