Took a lecture based on his book in 1986: Algorithms and Data Structures (1985) - N. Wirth
We used Modula-2 on a Macintosh for the exercises.

Quote:OBERON - This was developed by Niklaus Wirth. Not sure if you call it an Operating System, Programing Language, or a Combination of Both. Has anyone here used it?

This program was an example in the manual for the TI-57: Hi-Lo Zahlenratespiel (p. 4-22)
A colleague was lending me his TI-57 for a while. That was one of the first programs I keyed in into a calculator. Shortly after I got an HP-41CV.
