This document contains the complete material on the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop implementation of the Oberon language (called MPW Oberon), as well as materials on the Oberon compiler and the libraries of procedures and functions that are part of the MPW Oberon system.
MPW Oberon lets you the write standard Macintosh application using the Oberon language. MPW Oberon generates code for the MC68020 and better. For floating-point arithmetic either the MC68881 or SANE may be used.
MPW Oberon incorporates an single-pass, recursive descent compiler working without an intermediate representation. Therefore the compiler is very fast. Global optimizations are not performed by MPW Oberon since there is no intermediate representation of the program. Nevertheless the code produced by MPW Oberon is pretty good.
