A few observations: 1. You would also have to count the number of times the programmer set a boolean to FALSE (assuming 0 = FALSE), a SET to {}, a char to 0X or CHR(0) etc. etc. 2. Also, you must only count the first occurrence of that variable being assigned a value in a procedure. Apart from ident...

There's currently a discussion on this topic in the ETH Oberon mailing list:

Should one automatically initalize local pointer or procedure variables (safety precaution)?

Hi Robert, I collect historical Modula-2 and Oberon compilers and have 5.25" and 3.5" PC floppy capabilities on a range of ancient hardware. I's be more than happy to pay the postage to Australia for your Oberon/F discs. Also I'd be interested in any printed material (not just user manuals...

I just took an existing file and modified it to generate a few compilation errors and the cursor was positioned immediately after the first error marker. Unless I misunderstood what you said it behaved how you want it to. Have you got a simple example you can show us which exhibits the problem you r...

I'm pleased to hear that - but Ivan deserves the credit for the program

I ran a similar test on Windows 10 and it worked fine for me as well. If your code does not work on Doug's system then I also believe it is likely to be something to do with his Internet setup. Would a Proxy setting also be a possible culprit?

No - not unless you are proposing a language change. The same rules do not apply to Component Pascal. The definition of DIV in Component Pascal is different from the definition of DIV in Oberon. Component Pascal specifically allows negative divisors and gives examples of the behaviour. Oberon specif...

Good work! I have tested it with Chrome and Firefox as well.

I'm having difficulty checking. I click on "CODE: SELECT ALL" in Helmut's post, and the web page just jumps to a different location. Same problem in Chrome as well as Firefox :cry: I can duplicate the problem in Chrome, nothing at all happens in Apple Safari but it works OK in Microsoft E...
