Hello there,

allthough there was no lifesign for nearly a month, I would like to
send my introduction to this list!

I am a student of mathematics at the Justus-Liebig-University of
Giessen (central Germany). I'm just starting with my graduation in
graph theory.

I started experimenting with Oberon and Oberon/F on PC about one
year ago when I read about it in a computermagazine. Before that I
was programming mainly with TurboPascal (3.0 - 7.0) and
(occasionally) Turbo C++. The article made me curious about this
"from the pike"-OS/language-pair (the original ETH-system).

So far, I never spent a lot of time with programming - I never really
got into stuff like TurboVision or any kind of Windows-programming
but these old dos-command-line programs are really somehow
unsatisfactory and outdated. I was surprised how simply this can be
done with Oberon/F (not forgetting that "one man's 'too complex' is
another man's 'easily adapted'").

At the moment I have no serious projects running, but I hope there
will be some opportunities for Oberon-programs in the course of my
graduation.
