- In contrast to ISO M2 (which could help to solve all incompatiblities
- and ambiguities), there are several different flavours of Oberon[-2].
- There are not many ambiguities, but these have to be addressed; if possible
- avoiding the overhead of international standardisation.
-
- Here is an uncomplete summary of language reports and implementations.
- There are other implementations, but I don't know what they are based on.
- Please correct me if I'm wrong:
-
- Oberon[-1],
- - PC/386 running under MS/DR-DOS Oberon System (ETH-Zuerich),
- current version V1.3 has 16 bit restrictions for array indices
-
- Oberon-2 (Report 160 by H.P. Moessenboeck and N. Wirth, May 1991).
- Oberon-2 Compilers based on the ETH-Report 160 (i.e. not based on OP2):
-
- - xTech Oberon-2 for PC/386 (xTech/Russia), no 16 bit restrictions,
- some language extensions.
-
- - Amiga Oberon (it's a nice Oberon-2 compiler with some minor extensions, such
- as the keyword STRUCT for RECORDS without type descriptor; I call this
- implementation "Froderon"; it comes with yet another library)
-
- - Andreas Borchert's Oberon-2 compiler (University Ulm/Germany)
- for ?-processor(s)/Unix
-
- Oberon-2 (Report 160 by H.P. Moessenboeck, revised May 1992)
-
- Oberon-2 (based on Crelier's portable compiler OP2, which itself is based on
- the revised ETH-Report 160)
-
- - Oberon/386+ for MS Windows 3 (Robinson Associates/UK and FIM/Linz/Austria)
-
- - DecOberon (ETH-Zuerich)
-
- - H2O for VAX/VMS with ISO Modula-2 Standard Library (ModulaWare GmbH/Germany)
-
- - ??? for DEC 64 bit AlphaRISC AXP/OSF (DEC)
