Dear mr. Josef!

You're a great man! Thank you for the liberalisation of my favourite
"O2-to-C" translator. :)

I hope this step will give push to appearance in public domain
"Component Pascal-to-C"
translator (What will be the good thing for translate BlackBox to
non-intel architectures.
Btw, I propose to use SDL as GUI base for that translation. Bindings is
available on web-site
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdl-for-oberon/ )

Next step which I would like to see that supporting Ofront in H2O tool
by Stewart Greenhill.
If you don't know, it is very useful utility to translate C headers to
Component Pascal
interfaces (bindings). Btw, I would like to thanks mr. Bernhard Treutwein -
for useful posts. This person came on Russian-speaking forum OperonCore
simply
to tell about the discovery - the utility H2O. The low bow.

I have some experience working with H2O, have found some bugs and I
began to write
small notice about this. It's in Russian and may be downloaded here:

http://zx.oberon2.ru/lib/Oleg-N-Cher/exp_h2cp.zip

Use Google Translator for translation it to other languages, if you
interested.

I should like to ask mr. Bernhard Treutwein thank mr. Stewart Greenhill
for all.
And ask him about his plans to fix the bugs found by me, or exdends H2O
functionality
(Liberated Ofront is very good candidate to support it in the utility!).
Maybe he will like the idea to release H2O binaries for Windows on
Helmut Zinn's web-site
(for BlackBox users).


Folks, prof. Josef Templ has inspired me to use Ofront as a subsystem
for XDev -
my building of BlackBox (specially formed for cross-language and
cross-platform
development). Now supported only one target platform - retro-computer
Sinclair ZX Spectrum (Z80, 48Kb RAM). I want to support other platforms
too, of course.

XDev/ZXDev
==========
Download: https://github.com/Oleg-N-Cher/BB-XDev/zipball/master
Version control: https://github.com/Oleg-N-Cher/BB-XDev
Doc (mainly in Russian): ZXDev/Docu

If I will find interested English-speaking people, I'll make English
version of it.

I plan to modify the Ofront for accompaniment several useful
possibilities for
8-bit and 16-bit CPUs - for first, experimental supporting of the
unsigned data types.
Unsigned arithmetic will be more efficient for some retro-computers and
microcontrollers.

Mr. Josef, now I experiment with addition to Ofront the support of
unsigned types.
After getting the first results, I'll write you e-mail. Thank you very
much again!
