There Compiler.Obj is present but Compiler.Mod is absent.

At the top of page 
https://github.com/schierlm/NativeOberon-2.3.6-Extracted/tree/master/FullInstall
is notice
"Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 155 entries were omitted from the list."

Related to the absent Compiler.Mod?

Fit all required characters into one set of 8 bit characters and avoid 
dealing with multiple character sets?

OK, thanks,                        ... P.L.
