Hey Paul, I honeslty never heard of Project Oberon and I now read into the topic a bit more to find out. What bugs me is the fact Oberon is an object oriented programming language. This concept has already been discussed a lot on this ML and even though I can't speak for everyone, I prefer using procedural ones. However, considering how little time I spent reading into the language, I'm open for corrections. Now, looking at the Oberon Operating System, there definitely are some similarities. However, and that's where I see the big problem, this system doesn't comply with the set of common POSIX-standards and thus would require huge changes or even complete rewrites of basic software we use every day. I don't say every free operating system should be unix-like (hell, I'm open for new concepts!), but it sure makes it a hell lot easier to run a big set of software on it with relatively little work. What are your plans in this regard? Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <[email protected]>
