The v8.0 Astrobe compiler includes some modifications to the way symbol files are handled to as mentioned in the What's New notes: The items in an IMPORT list may now be included in any order. The sequence is not affected by dependencies or indirect imports. I'm on leave right now - I'll check somet...

Search for the word ''índirect'' in the Project Oberon book and you will find references to indirect module imports which should help in understanding when they occur and why they are needed.

The attached example included with CPIde shows how to create a basic Windows App with a main menu. When you select a menu item the menu caption is displayed on the StatusBar. The code includes a function which uses the .NET StringBuilder functions to efficiently strip non-alphabetic characters from ...

Since VS-2008, this progr...

The 2008 Oberon Language Report that Wirth's Oberon SA (StrongArm) compiler conformed to, defined an optional second param...

A big thank you to gray for documenting this process. Creating a new boot file for Embedded Oberon has now got a whole lot easier with the new Link command in v8.0 Astrobe for RISC5. The new process is this: 1. Update the core modules (FileDir, Kernel, Files and Modules) with your changes as require...

v8.0 Astrobe for RISC5 has now been released. Developers can use Astrobe on Windows to edit and compile real-time Oberon applications. These can then be uploaded and executed on a minimal embedded version of the Project Oberon OS running on an FPGA board. A summary of the new features included in th...
