Oberon V4

=========

(aka Linz Oberon)

This was downloaded as a snapshot from the main branch 

at SourceFource on 2021-03-21. I've made a copy here

as many Oberon resources are disappearing on the web.

The following are the steps I used to download and

setup this archive.

1. Import the SourceForge Git repository to GitHub

2. Add this readme and copying file.

Documentation is still on the web (2022-07-20, rechecked 2023-09-12)

    https://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/OberonDownloads.html

Of the content appears to have an ETH License. Additional

material in the directory JKU was downloaded from 

their [Public Domain Software](JKU-Public-Domain). 

I've added "Oberon V4 for GNU Linux" also found on SourceForge

in its own directory "Oberon V4 for GNU Linux" thanks to the

pointer from Bernhard Treutwein. The new directory is a copy of

the source from the [tar file](https://sourceforge.net/projects/oberon/files/Oberon%20V4%20for%20GNU_Linux/1.7.02/oberon-1.7.02.tar.gz/download)

for version 1.7.02. I've updated the sob shell script per Bernhard

as his version contained a couple fixes (see the Git repository

changes on sob file).

## Notes about archives

> Recieved an email from [B. Treutwien](https://github.com/btreut), 08/23/2023, confirmed the nature of the `*.Cod` files.

> `"*.Cod files are in some sense archives (like *.tar or *.zip), which are in turn uuencoded or binhexed (for people who are accustomed to legacy Unix or Apple systems), i.e. converted to pure ASCII."`

For someone who missed the boat on Modula -> Oberon and is trying to play catchup for personal and historical interests this type of information is really helpful.
