ETH Oberon System

Description

There were two separate implementations of the 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. Note that these two are full environments with their own GUI and not just a compiler or a development system.
