Hi,

   Knowing you all to be N. Wirth fans ( like me ;-), I thought those of you
not privy to IBMPC-L or the simtel news would like to know an Oberon
compiler for the MS-DOS enviornment was uploaded to simtel20:

PD:<MSDOS.PGMUTL>OBERONM.ZIP   ( about 134K zip file ).

  The readme file claims it to be a FULLY functional Oberon compiler
following Wirth's definition to the "T".  I checked it out, but don't know
Oberon well enough to really test it.  There are two postscript files ( that
I printed ) which offer the syntax of the language and the latest definition
of the language by Wirth ( dated 1.10.90 <- no, I don't know if Jan or Oct ).

  There was no mention in the ZIP file of this being PD or SW.  I believe
the posting I learned of it from state it was a pre-commercial release ( bug
tester maybe? ).

tom
