Yerk, and its close relative Mops, are 2 Forth based OOLs. Don't let the names
scare you, they are fairly nice packages, and both trace their roots, (i.e.
they had to be renamed to avoid legal conflicts,) to the once commercially
available language Neon.  They are available by ftp from oddjob.uchicago.edu,
with docs.

Does anyone know if Oberon has object orientation?  Any opinion on whether it is
worth downloading in either case?  Reply to me if it doesn't fit into this group's
charter.  Thanks.
