It is a functional limitation. Note that the Application disassembler does not replace the Module disassembler - they are separate menu items: ProjectMenu.jpg They are both implemented very differently. The Module disassembler requires the source code and compiler to be present; the Application disa...

Yes - if you are not using the nRF24L01+ RF module you can connect the DS3234 to the Pepino LX9 using the J7 connector. The connector pinouts are detailed here: http://www.saanlima.com/pepino/index.php?title=Pepino_Oberon#Connector_pinout The Astrobe Pepino disk image includes all of the necessary R...

No precise ETA yet - but should be in 2019.

Unfortunately we have had to delay this release but now hope it will be ready in Jan 2020. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Here is a preview of the work done so far:

I'd like an extended ResData (".ref") that not only gives the name for a module's address range, but also the procedure names (with address range) within the module. We have implemented a full application disassembler to be included in the Professional Edition in the next release. Each procedure an...

The outer P (a global object) would still be hidden by the inner P (a local object) wouldn't it?

Since the Introduction of SYSTEM.COPY (equivalent to an inline version of MoveWords) an alternative implementation of Move is: PROCEDURE* Move*(fromAdr, toAdr, nBytes: INTEGER); VAR nWords, endAdr: INTEGER; byte: BYTE; BEGIN endAdr := fromAdr + nBytes; nWords := nBytes DIV 4; IF nWords > 0 THEN SYST...

Having read that 2018 discussion again, one point that stands out is the statement from the preface of the Project Oberon 2013 book: 4. Objects declared in a procedure P are not accessible within a procedure Q that is itself local to P. That is, objects must be either strictly local or global in ord...

Yes - I think you'd find it very interesting. There's nearly 20 year's worth of discussions in the archives:

Good question. Your example is currently allowed in both the Astrobe compilers and the Project Oberon compiler. However, the jury is out on this one. See the related discussion, Intermediate scopes in Oberon-07 in the ETH Oberon mailing List.
