> Is there no way to reconcile the Algol family? 

Maybe, if Oberon Microsystems would be bought by Borland, or if Borland
would bring up an Oberon Compiler with OMI and a portable Library a la
Oberon/F, at least Oberon could become some concurrence to C++/Java.
Personally, I can't imagine this to happen with Modula-3 or Modula-2,
because Modula-2 is too old, and Modula-3 is too complicated.

So, maybe it would help if everybody posts a mail to Borland, that they should
move to Oberon, if they want to double their sales :)
