[Oberon] Oberon Runtime Environment running Oberon byte-code

[Jörg Straube]

ProjectOberon might be very close to your idea. It's the first time that Oberon defines an own "byte-code". You can see RISC5 as kind of "virtual machine" the Oberon compiler compiles to.
The RISC5 emulators that exist at least for Windows and MacOSX are comparable to the JVMs.
