      Name
        Obliq - a lightweight language for network objects

      Syntax
        obliq [options]

      Description

        An interactive interpreter for the Obliq language.  Obliq is
   a small,
        statically scoped, untyped language. It is  object-oriented,
   higher-
        order, and distributed. State is local to an address  space,
   while
        computation can migrate over the  network.  The  distributed
   computation
        mechanism is based on Modula-3 Network Objects.

        Obliq requires copies  of  netobjd  to  be  running  on  all
   appropriate
        machines, if network objects are to be used.

      Options

        -min obliq interpreter with minimum libraries

        -std obliq interpreter with standard libraries

        -ui  obliq interpreter with user-iterface libraries

        -anim
             obliq interpreter with animation libraries

        -af93
              obliq of the Animation Festival '93 (obsolete)
