        I used to maintain the Oberon FAQ, but it has been 
inactive for over a year now.  I hope to get around to 
resurrecting it someday.

        Version 4 is the streamlined version of the original 
Oberon System by Wirth & Gutkecht.  It seems to be frozen in 
its current form, you can download it for free, and most of 
the source is available.
        System 3 is an experimental variation of the original 
Oberon System headed by Gutknecht.  I believe it's still a 
live research project.  It's also available for free but the 
source has to be licensed.  
        Oberon/F is a commercial product which aims to bring 
much of the Oberon System to mainstream OSes such as Windoze 
and the Mac in the form of frameworks package.  

Hope this helps,
Mike
