Acknowledged. My old habit is from high school roughly sixty years
ago. =8~/

This prompted the query.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nativeoberon/files/nativeoberon/Native%20Oberon%202.3.7%20Alpha/
The name with the underscore,
NativeOberon_2.3.7.tar.gz
violates stated Oberon syntax unnecessarily. Removing the underscore
before gunzipping in Oberon is a distraction for a novice. =8~/.
Are these better?
NativeOberon.2.3.7.tar.gz
NativeOberon2.3.7.tar.gz
To me, the last suffices.
Changing the name of the existing archive is objectionable? Add a
duplicate with the Oberon conformant name?
Thx, ... P.L.
