I have heard that the demo version will be expanded though. There should be a working compiler available pretty soon after the mac and sparc versions are finished. /Jorgen Sorry, I didn't really make my intentions clear in my post, but I'm not particularly interested in the whole Oberon operating system for the Amiga (I've got the Sparc one), only in this particular compiler package because it seems to integrate the Oberon *language* very nicely into AmigaDOS (makes all the OS calls available, for example). I just want it as a systems programming language for AmigaDOS. -------- \ Mark Stephens \ "Man and machine share in the stimulating DSIR Physical Sciences \/\ exchange of ... Aaarrgghhh!"
