Thanks, this is really helpful! Since there seems to be no central point of information on the myriad versions of oberon and no official website at eth anymore, it's really hard to get the lay of the land and find out which version does what and why.



You can have some additional info here, include lots of nice screenshots.

In a couple of years, all Oberon related knowledge will be left collecting dust in university libraries and digital archives.


There is an active project to document Oberon (both language and OS, in its various versions) on Wikibooks: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon

I personally am intermittently working on the Wikipedia articles for Oberon (language and OS) and Bluebottle OS.

Contributions, links etc. very welcome.


Thanks for the heads up.

I can gladly contribute the screenshots I took while using A2.
