Anyone who is interested in acme should take a look at Oberon, the
system that inspired it. Wirth has written a book and a number of
papers about it. You can ftp it from neptune.inf.ethz.ch; they have
binaries for sparc and some other systems.
The system runs in an X window and more or less acts like that window
is the screen of a Ceres workstation. It's a little like running
smalltalk---Oberon is its own user interface, programming language,
and operating system.
Anyway, the system is amazingly efficient and elegant. Everyone I've
shown it to has said "Wow.", so go check it out while we're waiting
for the next Plan 9 cd to arrive.
