>From bernhard Tue Sep 21 09:49:55 1999 To: cotton@hq.acm.org Subject: The Oberon Series Content-Length: 2545 X-Lines: 65 Status: RO Dear Deborah Cotton, sorry to contact you again, but since you were very cooperative in my Copyright question about Reiser's Oberon System in April to June this year, I hope that you can point me out, whome I should contact with the following issue: AWL has finally shut down the whole Oberon series: [WiR92] N. Wirth and M. Reiser Programming in Oberon - Steps Beyond Pascal and Modula Addison-Wesley, 1992, ISBN 0-201-56543-9 [Rei92] M. Reiser The Oberon System; User Guide and Programmer's Manual Addison-Wesley, 1992, ISBN 0-201-54422-9 [WiG92] N. Wirth and J. Gutknecht Project Oberon - The Design of an Operating System and Compiler Addison-Wesley, 1992, ISBN 0-201-54428-8 [WiR94] N. Wirth and M. Reiser Programmieren in Oberon - Das neue Pascal Addison-Wesley, 1994, ISBN 3-89319-657-9 - Translated into German by J. Templ. Shortly after Wirth's retirement in April this year. I don't know if this was done by AWL in arrangement with ACM, but I think this is abashing (don't know if this is the correct english word, I'm not a native speaker) since Wirth has done pioneering work, which was accomplished by several organizations (see the inlcuded selected list of honors, taken from: http://www.inf.ethz.ch/~wirth/): Selected Honours ACM, A. M.

I ordered it on Sep/13. They still seem to have some in stock. I also contacted a lady at the ACM permissions department (see her reply including my mail below ) and she forwarded it to the responsible guy at ACM press. I think it is important to contact ACM about the Oberon series and not Addison Wesley. AW they made the production, but since AW has been sold twice (AFAIK, first AW -> AWL -> now Pearson), I guess that they got reorganized/restructured and they don't think about contents but only sales.

So, it was done for economic reason more than anything else. Interests in the Oberon project are no longer as strong as they were once, so, we felt that it was time to retire the books from the active list. I do agree with you assessment that the project was of a monumental importance to computer science. For this reason, I am looking to have those books scanned and made available in their entireties on the ACM website. This way, future programmers who are looking for materials on Oberon can simply take a look or download the materials in which they are interested. I am not sure when we can have this affected as it does involve some logistical issues from our side.

It might be worth to motivate more people to write to ACM so they know that there is still interest in "The Oberon Series". I guess that AW/AWL/Pearson were the driving force for dropping the series. BTW: I've got a scanned version of chapter "Texts", which I'm allowed to redistribute as documentation for a "glue" module in Component Pascal. Since OV4Texts is still buggy and my current time is quite limited, I did not (yet) put it up on the net. I wrote Jono Hardjowirogo (the responsible editor at ACM) about the existence of a scanned chapter & that the "small but quite" active newsgroup might be of help and he promised to keep that in mind. regards Bernhard Treutwein Tel. +49-89-5996-642, Fax -615 Institut f.

You may contact for this purpose the main editor at ACM (see included correspondence with him below). I can imagine that ACM would be willing to support the Oberon CD (but you have to attract their interest). Martin Reiser's current e-mail (it was difficult to dig him out) is: martin.reiser@gmd.de He referred me to ACM & AWL. In the docu of http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/OV4-StdCoded.txt is a scanned & OCRed version of Chapter 14 of Reiser's Oberon System, for which I've got the permission to redistribute it from AWL. There is also some other BlackBox stuff on http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/MoreBBUtil.html which you may include on your CD (including my BlackBox port of Depot/4. -- Bernhard Treutwein Tel. +49-89-5996-642, Fax -615 Institut f.
