I've tried it some years ago and didn't = stick with it because the implementation was too limited and non portable a= nd still a little buggy I think. I'll have to check how it is now. Hi there, try this link: http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/ There is a new version of the Oberon system called A2. The A2 is written in= Active Oberon language, ans it runs under Windows/Linux/Solaris x86 (as a = normal process). It could be also installed in the native mode (http://www.= ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/Installation). The Active Oberon languag= e is still evolving, and at ETHZ they use it in education and research.=20 Personally, I use a windows-based version of the system (it is different th= an anything else but it is a real fun to work with when you get used to it= ).=20 There is also the Zonon programming language (http://www.zonnon.ethz.ch/) w= hich has more advanced features added (http://www.zonnon.ethz.ch/archive/zn= nLanguageReportv04y090606draft.pdf). If you some time to burn you can watch some of presentations: http://www.mu= ltimedia.ethz.ch/conferences/2011/oberon Regards, Darek
