Anybody using the XDS Oberon Compiler?
I was installing a few stand-alone Pascal, Modula and Oberon compilers this week-end, including the XDS "bilingual" compiler. I may be wrong, but it appears that maybe the XDS compiler does not support file I/O - as per their website's "Unimplemented Oakwood libraries". Can someone confirm that this is correct? Is this compiler "lame" until its purchased? Just curious.... -- Duke

As far as I know a) you can do file I/O in XDS b) the free versions are the only available versions I'm not aware of *any* Oberon system that fully conforms with the Oakwood guidelines so you don't need to be too concerned if they haven't implemented the libraries. However, you are more likely to find somebody who really knows on the XDS forum: http://www.excelsior-usa.com/forum/ Regards, Chris Chris Burrows CFB Software http://www.cfbsoftware.com

Alexander I. set me straight on _that_ score. Streams and channels...
b) the free versions are the only available versions
and on that point as well..

POW!

http://www.excelsior-usa.com/forum/ I'll be joining it or the mailing list after I play with XDS a bit. I'm like a kid in a candy shop now - I've got too may Pascal-family languages to test-drive. :) Thanks for the input. -- Duke

POW! only claims Oakwood compatibility for In, Out and XYPlane. Oakwood also includes library specifications for modules Input, Files, Strings, Math and MathL; and the optional modules Coroutines, MathC and MathLC. Regards, Chris.
