Description: This is the BeOS port of Inform, written by Graham Nelson, but compiled by Stephen van Egmond. Since there's no "dr9" button on this form, I'll say it here: you must be running the Preview Release of dr9 to use it. Inform is a compiler for text adventures in the Zork style. Included is the manual for Inform, and source for 3 sample games including a port of the original Adventure by Crowther and Woods. Inform uses a C-like language and outputs to the "Z-machine" virtual machine. One Z-Machine interpreter for the BeOS is Frotz (which should be brought to dr9 RSN)

Description: This is a very quick port of Kaffe 0.5p1 a public domain 'untainted' Java VM. It is also a Just-In-Time (JIT) compilier but for obvious reasons that doesnŐt work. It does not support anything clever involving threads.

Optimizing Oberon-2 Compiler
Version: 1.1.0
By: Michael Griebling
E-mail: grieblm@inforamp.net
Web page: Available
Release Date: Available Now

Info Last Modified: 3/8/97
Requires BeOS version: DR8
License: Freeware
Cost: Free
Source Available?: Yes


Description: An optimizing Oberon-2 compiler which currently has one back-end producing ANSI-C source code. Oberon-2 is a Pascal-like language with modern object-oriented facilities and name-space resolution through modules. Oberon-2 is much easier to learn than C++ and every bit as powerful and efficient. It is a much safer programming language since it makes errors visible much earlier and promotes type-safe programming. It also comes complete with real-time garbage collection as a language feature. (Not currently available on the BeBox). The compiler features complete make/build facilities, an EMACs major mode, and interfaces to a code management system (RCS). Currently only C interfaces are supported via a special mapping mechanism so any volunteers willing to provide a C-interface to the BeOS would be welcome. OOC's output is compatible with the Metrowerk's tools and the GNU GCC tools. A precompiled version of the compiler for BeOS is available from the primary ftp site. The secondary site has the complete compiler source code in both C and Oberon-2. Contact the original author, Michael van Acken at acken@informatik.uni-kl.de for compiler related stuff; BeBox port questions to me.
