OBC is very nice and works a treat on Debian Linux.

But beware that it has a few differences from Oberon 2.

In the function LEN(a, n), n takes the value 1 for the first dimension 
and 2 for the second dimension of a 2d array. The Oberon 2 compiler in 
POW would require n to take the values of 0 and 1. The Reiser and Wirth 
book is not much help here as the relevant section is confusing 
presumably due to a misprint (page 113).
