ETH Oberon System

Description

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 BTW is the same gentleman that developed the COP2 Oberon-to-C translator but it is unknown if he made an OS/2 version available of that as well.

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