Hi Ulrich and the others, for me the most appealing thing is, that the Oberon System is a complete development environment and runtime system with GUI support. The language is strongly typed and has a flexible inheritance mechanism. In comparison to many other and newer languages Oberon has a simple syntax which is easy to understand. Not to forget the garbage collector. I don't want to use Oberon commercially. Only for my own interest. I want to test/prototype some graphic algorithms with ist and I need a GUI to verify the results. A complete Oberon System with GUI would be nice. Reading the suggestions by the other members on this mailing list I see this candidates : POW ETH Oberon Sytem for Windows, Linux or native Blackbox Bluebottle Due to the fact that my main development platform is Mac OS X, nothing on this list fits really well. I would wish that the Oberon System had been ported to various platforms using libSDL or a similar cross platform library. But I'm willing to experiment in order work with Oberon. I have a PC too but I don't want to use Windows. Therfore I end up with this candidates: Bluebottle ETH Oberon System for Linux or native I have not found a recently build ETH Oberon System for any platform, but Bluebottle is updated frequently. Is there any progress with ETH Oberon or is all activity going into Bluebottle? Thank you for all the answers, Andreas Känner ulrich ulrich schrieb:
