Oberon subsystem of LinuxA2 Gen. 32-bit, rev.9799.
by peter＠easthope.ca 12 Feb '23

12 Feb '23

Hi, Debian 11 AMD64 on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p here. With libc6:i386 and dependancies added, LinuxA2 Gen. 32-bit, rev.9799 works mostly. A simple HTML page on a remote server opens. On a 32 bit machine with 32 bit system, stunnel allows Mail to receive mail. With stunnel in this 64 bit system, Mail immediately reports "timed out". The console, where A2 was started, reports Sockets.Connect: : Connection refused connect failed A 32/64 compatibility problem? Install another package for compatibility? Other ideas? Thx, ...

[Component Pascal] Where to store StdCoded files
by Aubrey McIntosh 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

I am going to store a StdCoded file for a subsystsem, and make it available online. I am not clear in my head whether it should be in Docu, Rsrc, or perhaps a new directory such as Distr -- Aubrey McIntosh, PhD

Project Oberon-V
by Peter Matthias 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hello, someone might be interested: Project Oberon already runs a little bit on a FreeRTOS/RISC-V device. Still lots to do until big LCD, keyboard and mouse should be added. http://oberon.wikidot.com/project-oberon-v Peter

Filename Parts
by Aubrey McIntosh 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

In Component Pascal, I have a filename not unlike Alm/*Mod*/Test.odc I am splitting this into components, and end up with something like the following subsystem Alm *whatsit* Mod name Test type odc I suspect the community would like my code better if I use another name than *whatsit*. In my readings of source code, I don't remember finding a well established name. -- Aubrey McIntosh, PhD

Extended Oberon / Oberon-extended.
by Andreas Pirklbauer 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

The name of the system is “Extended Oberon”. Oberon-extended is the repository name on Github - it should not be used to refer to the system. The file 'Streamling symbol files in Oberon' is now back.

Extended Oberon / Oberon-extended.
by peter＠easthope.ca 17 Jan '23

Not sure I understand the name usage correctly. Are "Extended Oberon" and "Oberon-extended" interchangeable? https://github.com/andreaspirklbauer/Oberon-extended/blob/master/Documentat… gives error 404. "blob"should be "tree". Even so https://github.com/andreaspirklbauer/Oberon-extended/tree/master/Documentat… gives 404. Is the Streamlining document incorporated into something else? Moved elsewhere? Other complaints against https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/Oberon-extended ? Thx, ... P.L. - mobile: +1 778 951 5147 VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:PeterEasthope

Upper limit of FLOOR
by Hans Klaver 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Hi all, One of the gotcha's I encountered while trying to improve Texts.WriteRealFix was that in PO the standard function procedure FLOOR overflows for values > 16777215.00 (2^24-1) and not, as I expected, only for values > 2147483647.00 (2^31-1). I guess I'm not the only one who is surprised by this (see for instance: https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/pipermail/oberon/2020/015013.html) Some other Oberon-07 compilers (e.g. OBNC) do not have this limit. For FLT I can understand the limit of 16777215 because larger integers do not always have an exact floating point representation. For FLOOR there is no parallel argument: every REAL up to 2147483647.00 can unequivocally be transferred to a 32-bit INTEGER. So why this limit? Does anyone have an opinion on this? If you would like to test these limits, you can use procedure TestRealIO.FltFloor which can be found here: https://github.com/hansklav/Oberon-REAL-IO/blob/main/TestRealIO.Mod Regards, Hans Klaver
