[Oberon] byte vs. octet.

[peter at easthope.ca]

Various computing related documents, including some Oberon documents 
use "octet" rather than "byte".  Appears the terms are synonymous.  
Use of octet in computing is newer than byte?  Is either  term better 
or preferable?

Thanks,         ... Lyall E.
