I agree fully with Wojtek that the least thing we want to
have is yet another branch in the Oberon community. By
branching the Oberon System into System 3 and V4 it lost
a lot of its attraction.
On the other hand I also find some aspects of Marco's
BB 2.0 (Branco/Black ?) very interesting. I did not (yet)
realize the claim for "Truly Cooperative Real Multi Tasking"
which makes it even more interesting.
But: It is based on BB 1.5 and therefore it is already an
incompatible branch. There has been changes to the *.ocf
format between Releases 1.5 and 1.6rc5 (see & compare:
Dev/Spec/ObjFile.odc). Will there be an attempt to unify
those?
Also: There is a lack of information about BB 2.0 especially
the meaning of the different command line parameters.
regards
Bernhard
