[Oberon] syntax in BB, CP, GPCP and V4 compared to Oberon-2.

[Jörg]

Hi

"Without any change" means that the language (syntax) and OS (module framework) are the same or a superset of the language and OS used by Sort.Mod

I had a look at Sort.Mod. As it imports "Objects" its written in System3 aka ETH Oberon. It will not compile in V4 aka Linz Oberon as module "Objects" does not exist in V4.

The heap sort routine and the FillText and FillArray is rather portable but where you would have to change most in the different Oberon incarnations is the whole IO part in "Sort" (getting arguments, opening windows and writing something into them)
