oops, Joseph Templ put OFront, which does exactly the Oberon to C 
translation into Open
Source about a year or two ago ... see

as far as I know that was true, but in the latest so called alpha NO all 
sources are
completely available. These are in the meantime already 10 years old, but 
they
are functional (see 
ftp://ftp.ethoberon.ethz.ch/Oberon/System3/Native/Update/Alpha/).

OK, I found it also a little bit difficult to locate them since ETHZ 
rearranged their servers
and the directories, but the stuff is there.
