Can you define 'complete'? Surely this doesnt mean including applications like 'word' or 'excel' or does it? Is a GUI part of the 'complete'? I really want to know what hides behind this term.
- johndoe0815 6y agoProject Oberon includes a GUI that in the Unix world would be described as using a tiling window manager. It doesn't include a word processor or a spreadsheet app - Oberon was created to build a workstation system, not an office machine - but a graphics editor is included. Other applications are available, of course, such as a tool for digital circuit design or an email tool. But one of the most important use cases for Oberon is probably software development - so one of the most important tools that is included with the system is the compiler.
- jonjacky 6y agoIn addition to the OS itself, the Oberon book [1] includes network, file and print servers, a mail server, a text editor, and a graphics editor capable of drawing circuit schematics. [1] https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/ https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/
