Has anyone read "Oberon Companion: A Guide to Using and Programming
Oberon System 3" by Fisher and Marais?  (I do not have a copy and am
curious.)

As an aside, this may not help the original poster but I note that the
Solaris Sparc version of Oberon System 3 runs very nicely on current
Sparc boxes.  I can even run it on my Mac over SSH using a
three-button mouse.
