Oberon (operating system)

Common card · No. 484709

The Oberon System is a modular, single-user, single-process, multitasking operating system written in the programming language Oberon. It was originally developed in the late 1980s at ETH Zurich. The Oberon System has an unconventional visual text user interface (TUI) instead of a conventional command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI). This TUI was very innovative in its time. It influenced the design of the Acme text editor for the Plan 9 from Bell Labs operating system and bears some similarities to the "Look and feel" of the worksheet interface of the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop. The system also evolved into the multi-process, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capable A2 (formerly Active Object System (AOS), then Bluebottle), with a zooming user interface (ZUI).
