Re: [Oberon] Export of Oberon Mail.SendCmd().

Generally, re-using code instead of copying is a good approach. If you do so, then the whole code of Mail is imported in News. Possible but perhaps there is even a better approach to re-use code. What about this: try to separate all common code in an own module (e.g call it Communication.Mod or MsgBase.Mod or Utilities.Mod or so) and import this new module in Mail and in News. br Jörg > Am 14.06.2023 um 19:53 schrieb peter(a)easthope.ca: > > Hello again, > > Several procedures in Mail are used in Oberon News.

The bibliography as it was at ETHZ is here. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/Bibliography ETH format is duplicated fairly closely. Content is duplicated except for adding a few citations. In the section headed Web Sites, the last three. Legally, citations can be added to the bibliography. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/Licenses Does anyone object to adding a citation as Rochus gave? Does anyone believe the bibliography should be frozen exactly as it was at ETHZ? Thanks, ...

Did you check the *.tar.gz archives available via links just below the Native/StdAlone link you cited? https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/ETH_Oberon/download The Sourceforge archive may have been created by Pieter Muller.

Does anyone have the missing source files of Oberon System 3 v2.3.6?

Hello everyone Both archives referenced in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/ETH_Oberon/download under Native Oberon Native/StdAlone/ and Native/Update/Beta/ (which seem to be identical anyway) are lacking the Kernel.Mod, Modules.Mod and the OP2 compiler source files (Compiler.Mod, OP*.Mod). Does anyone have and is willing to share these source files? I'm looking for the exact version of these source files which was used to generate the included object files. Best regards Rochus Keller
