Sorry, no. However, if you're familiar with the Oberon text subsystem
a quick "port" to "o2c" should not require too much work. Coco/R
relies heaviliy on the Texts module of the standard Oberon system. By
writing a wrapper Texts module for "o2c" you should be able to
"bootstrap" Coco/R in very short time. Of course, it's only a quick
hack and nothing for purists, but with this approach I got Coco/R
running under Oberon/F in less than a day.
