[Oberon] Programming in Oberon-7 on Linux

[Peter De Wachter]

One option is "Project Norebo", which runs the RISC compiler emulated
in a Unix environment (http://github.com/pdewacht/project-norebo/).
It's not exactly fit for production use, but it's good enough to work
through "Programming in Oberon: A Tutorial".

For example:

$ cat Hello.Mod
MODULE Hello;
  IMPORT Texts, Oberon;
  VAR W: Texts.Writer;

  PROCEDURE SayHello*;
    VAR S: Texts.Scanner;
  BEGIN
    Texts.OpenScanner(S, Oberon.Par.text, Oberon.Par.pos); Texts.Scan(S);
    IF S.class = Texts.Name THEN
      Texts.WriteString(W, "Hello ");
      Texts.WriteString(W, S.s);
      Texts.WriteLn(W);
      Texts.Append(Oberon.Log, W.buf)
    END
  END SayHello;

BEGIN Texts.OpenWriter(W)
END Hello.

$ norebo ORP.Compile Hello.Mod/s
OR Compiler  7.6.2014
  compiling Hello    57    32 1C5E336F

$ norebo Hello.SayHello world
Hello world
