[Oberon] syntax in BB, CP, GPCP and V4 ...

[Chris Burrows]

Note that the BlackBox 'subsystems' use a specific naming convention and
subsystem prefixes have been allocated in the past to avoid namespace
clashes where independent developers are publishing their code to be used
generally. The list is published here:

http://www.oberon.ch/blackbox/subsystems.html

Most (if not all) of the publicly available subsystems and source code are
published on Helmut Zinn's Component Pascal Resources Collection site:

http://www.zinnamturm.eu/subsystems.htm

The way this works in practice is (for example) the BlackBox Oberon compiler
modules belong to the 'Dev' subsystem. Hence the *MODULE names* are
'DevCPB', 'DevCPM' etc. and the source code files are stored in the
'BlackBox\Dev\Mod' folder. When you compile these modules the object files
are created in the 'BlackBox\Dev\Code' folder and the symbol files are
created in the 'BlackBox\Dev\Sym' folder.

Note that because the files are stored in the Dev folder structure the
*filenames* of these modules do not need to be, and should not be, prefixed:

e.g. The source code of MODULE named DevCPB is stored in the file named
BlackBox\Dev\CPB.odc, the symbol file is in the file BlackBox\Dev\CPB.osf
etc.
