[Oberon] Experimental Oberon released

[R. P. de Jong]

Hi Andreas,

I just have tried out your "Experimental Oberon" in Oberon Workstation.
This is really a nice piece of work! The "live scrolling" is very smooth on the 80 Mc/s simulated RISC5. It even does not get "jerky" if set 20 Mc/s. Nice touch also that the scrolling speed can be chosen by dragging more to the right.
I have made a version of your files in which all the module names, commands etc. are renamed with the prefix "i" (takes the least space in menus). That way Experimental Oberon can co-exist with the standard Project Oberon in the same directory and booted into either one without changing any file.
Thanks for publishing this, and the professional documentation!
