Component Pascal StdCoder.Decode ?

[p***@gmail]

Component Pascal Collection
from the goog-cache of
http://www.zinnamturm.eu/downloadsAC.htm
lists
http://www.zinnamturm.eu/pac/Basic.txt
http://www.zinnamturm.eu/pac/C2cp.txt
http://www.zinnamturm.eu/pac/CpcBeautifier.txt
which I fetched.

But they are in an encoded format
<1st line starts:"StdCoder.Decode ..,1">
which seems not decodable with S3's [nor V4's] existing tools.

Can someone help me get to the plain-text sources ?
I strongly believe that we should have easy access to all
Wirthian-language sources, to build on existing investments
rather than continually reinventing the wheel.

The */pac/C2cp.txt file is described as a [mostly] C to cp
translator, which could be very interesting for efforts to
port some of the massive GNU/linux sources to 'Wirthian'?

Thanks for any help,

== Chris Glur.

If you have a Windows you can easily download BB (opne source and
free), install it and then
decode files with BB. This way you will get not only source files but
also documentation

enclosed are the source and the documentation of StdCoder
and a copy of the BlackBox Open Source license (which is
rumored to be a variant of the BSD license).
1. The libraries used are very different.
2. Type sizes differ
PS: BlackBox runs nicely under Linux/Wine

Thanks, and I'm wondering why
DEFINITION StdCoder lists only a few of the IMPORTs
of MODULE StdCoder, as if the rest are defaults.

Yes, I found out that 'MODULE StdCoder' is only the human interface.
I want the encoding algorithm which is perhaps in MODULE Converters.
Probably with many other translators.
Or actually I'd just prefer to have the plaintext of C2cp.txt.

Since Oberon Microsystems is commercial, perhaps they have their own
'format'. This whole project is looking less viable; especially when the
documentation [DEFINITION StdCoder]is written as *pdf, where there's
nothing but plain-text there, to justify pdf. And when a '*.txt' file is
some special, non-text encoding -- I get a bad feeling.

The same way as I only hope to use the *ALGORITHMS* of the mass of
C-code available, so also I only expected to use the algorithm of
BlackBox's "C to cp translator". But everything: C, cp, S3, V4; must
all be reduceable to plain-text source.

It's all the different format's/encodings of plain text that annoys me.
