Maybe so! However, after all these years having a decent set of
docs available would have been one of Oberon's best advocates. It
could have come from the community at large, and overseen by ETH -
like the successful Linux family.

Anyway, I don't want to get into a long discussion with you here! I
glad to see that someone with a modicum of NO/LNO experience has
finally found time to do this. I'm sure that it will be well 
received.
