Speaking as a customer, it is not the attitude at Oberon Microsystems,
the company that provides Oberon/F.  As a registered developer, my
questions have always been answered, system updates are regular, and
plans for the future are published clearly so I will know how to plan.
(BTW, in response to an earlier post a unix version of Oberon/F is
planned.)  Perhaps this is due to the difference between a commercial
venture (which must be concerned about the needs of its customers)
and an academic one (Who are the customers?).
