	Oberon

    A strongly typed procedural programming
   language and an operating environment evolved from Modula-2
   by Nicklaus Wirth in 1988.  Oberon adds type extension
   (inheritance), extensible record types, multidimensional
   open arrays, and garbage collection.  It eliminates variant
   records, enumeration types, subranges, lower array
   indices and for loops.

   A successor called Oberon-2 by H. Moessenboeck features a
   handful of extensions to Oberon including type-bound
   procedures (methods).

   Seneca is a variant of Oberon focussing on numerical
   programming under development by R. Griesemer in April 1993
   (to be renamed).
