I also use CoCo for generating a parser that does run under AmigaOS  and  not
under the OberonSystem. I do this by  rewriting  the  scannerinterfaces  (the
.frm-files) to load file using other routines than the OberonSystem. The then
gernerated scanner and parser are nearly  free  from  OberonSsstem-code  (You
have to change a few lines :-(). That's because CoCo generated at one place a
OberonSystem-Files-call and the compiler I use  (AmigaOberon)  is  not  fully
compatible to the OberonSystem-compilers (Differnet size of SET and different
handling of escape-characters). To convert Oberon-textfiles to ascii I have a
program, but the OberonSystem also has routines for storring files as  ascii.
The problem is that to process is difficult to automatize, you have to  do  a
lot of things by hand. A standalone version would be nice.
