An updated Native Oberon alpha version is now available at:
  ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/ETHOberon/Native/Update/Alpha/

The detailed changes are listed at:
  http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/native/WebAlpha.html

All changes up to 24.08.02 are in the downloadable version.
Notably, the Oberon-0 installation diskette now supports 
FAT-based installation again, using the completely rewritten 
FAT file system (from the Dummies release) of Bernhard Egger.

Important things remaining to do for the planned beta release:
o apply remaining updates (NetSystem, Mail, etc.)
o improve installation workflow and documentation
o bring on-line installation documentation in line with new concepts
  http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/installA.txt
o improve release build tools to make it easier for others to use

Afterwards we'll start a round of testing and error documentation
and correction, aiming for a release by the end of the year.
