Yes, the prerelease version already exists. I am distributing it to 
those interested, mostly to coordinate efforts and to avoid duplicate 
work. If your field is spectroscopy (particle, nuclear, chemistry, infrared, 
whatever...) you may be interested in my data-analysis project. 
My persistent object library is just a part of it, to provide me 
with a solid basis for data management. I will need to manipulate 
objects such as spectra, X-Y contours, and also detector 
representations (i.e., data structures representing pieces of 
experimental hardware). For this purpose I wanted to build a solid 
basis to manipulate such arbitrary objects, group them into lists,
give them names and so on. In that respect this library is somewhat 
specialized, but it might be interesting to those of you, who belong 
to a similar guild (experimental hard science). E.g., if acronyms
PAW, ZEBRA, HBOOK tell you something, you may want to drop me a line.

One of important design goals of my project is independence from 
particular details of either V4, System-3, Oberon/F, etc. 
This is especially important for a scientific software package, which in 
my opinion should not be restricted to a particular Oberon implementation, 
or at least it should be esily portable.

Right now I am finishing one of my physics research papers, and thus 
the programming effort lags behind. But I will come back to it as soon as 
I am done with the paper. 

Please be advised that there is a different, highly professional, 
persistent-object project under way at one of Oberon universities
(have a look at Guy's home page...). It is completely unrelated, 
but I will have a look at it and eventually coordinate my effort
with theirs. Right now it is independent. (I got a word about their 
project, when mine was already well advanced.)
