[[Image:OberonLogo.png|right]]
'''ETH Oberon''' is a single-user, multi-tasking system with an integrated software environment that runs on bare hardware or on top of a host operating system.

==Implementations==
There were two separate implementations of the ETH [[Oberon]] system developed for OS/2 in the 90's, first came a version of '''System V4''' by Daniel Steiner that was distributed as shareware and and appears not to have had a source release.

But there was also a slightly later release of '''System V2.2''', this time by Taylor Hutt and featured full source code. The 2.2 version was however only available from Mr Hutt's FTP and and not placed on any FTP archives and appears to have disappeared altogether, Mr Hutt also developed the '''COP2''' Oberon-to-C translator.

Note that these two above are full environments with their own GUI and not just a compiler or a development system.

==Version==
* Last OS/2 V4 version: [ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/modula/oberonv4.zip Oberon System Release 4.0-0.6e]. Needs OS/2 2.1 or higher.
