(aka Linz Oberon)
This was downloaded as a snapshot from the main branch at SourceFource on 2021-03-21. I've made a copy here as many Oberon resources are disappearing on the web.
The following are the steps I used to download and setup this archive.
- Import the SourceForge Git repository to GitHub
- Add this readme and copying file.
Documentation is still on the web (2022-07-20, rechecked 2023-09-12)

I've added "Oberon V4 for GNU Linux" also found on SourceForge in its own directory "Oberon V4 for GNU Linux" thanks to the pointer from Bernhard Treutwein. The new directory is a copy of the source from the tar file for version 1.7.02. I've updated the sob shell script per Bernhard as his version contained a couple fixes (see the Git repository changes on sob file).
Recieved an email from B. Treutwien, 08/23/2023, confirmed the nature of the
*.Codfiles."*.Cod files are in some sense archives (like *.tar or *.zip), which are in turn uuencoded or binhexed (for people who are accustomed to legacy Unix or Apple systems), i.e. converted to pure ASCII."
For someone who missed the boat on Modula -> Oberon and is trying to play catchup for personal and historical interests this type of information is really helpful.
