[Oberon] Historical perspective; was Re (2): EE, CE, CS buildings on the ETH campus.

[David Lightfoot]

Dear Peter
Pleased to have helped and happy to be cited.
I first visited ETH in 1983, when I had a demonstration of *Lilith *from
Jiri Hoppe and I attended the *8. Fachtagung—Programmiersprache und
Programmentwicklung,* in 1984 and *JMLC2000*.
The department was in Clausiusstrasse in those days and also later when
Brian Kirk and I visited several times to work with Jürg Gutknecht and
Eugene Zueff on *Zonnon.*

Best regards
David
