Hi John,

At the Antwerp University in Belgium (RUCA , see www.ruca.ua.ac.be) we ( 
Prof. Frans Arickx, Prof. Jan Broeckhove, Tom Van den Eede and myself Luc 
Vinck) are working on a native Oberon version we call the PC-Oberon. It 
boots from any partition (even on a second disk ) and runs completly 32 
bit protected mode without any BIOS calls. The system is stable and 
has been demonstrated at ETH. Plans exist to make it available in the 
future. We have a very good cooperation with the Oberon group at ETH. 

For more info you are free to e-mail Prof. Frans Arickx  
(arickx@ruca.ua.ac.be).

See you.

Luc.
