[Oberon] Re (n): syntax in BB, CP, GPCP and V4 ...

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Robert Campbell.

His Lib and many other BlackBox software is available from CPC, Component Pascal Collection.

Lib, despite a modest name, is one of the most comprehensive math, graphical, and algebra libraries I have ever seen. The prime reason why it would be good to bring together Oberon (whichever flavor) and CP is the CPC collection, and in particular work by Robert. IMHO, our community is shooting off our own feet by not adopting the common CP source base which would make it possible.

Robert's programs are written in CP using monospaced font, that is Courier. He follows a set of formatting rules which make his programs readable and pleasure to read. No special tools were used. However, he has worked out a set of simple tricks using the BlackBox "elements" which are similar to V4 "elements". His tricks help productivity.

Entirely unfamiliar territory for me.  Which Robert? Is his convention
described in text?  Produced by an automated formatter?  Must a system
be installed to see the format?

Thanks,                            ... Lyall E.
