Oberon-M is an MS-DOS implementation of Prof. Nicklaus Wirth's Oberon
language, which is a Modula2-like language designed for his new workstation.
It is distinguished by a sub-4000 line compiler implementation and the
concept of type-extension, which allows you to define new types based on
previously-defined types - similar to object inheritance, though it does
not support encapsulation of methods with the types.  They are used to
implement opaque (abstract) data types, enabling an object-like style
of programming without the usual overhead of a truly object-oriented
language.
