Yes, I started with one a few weeks ago (in fact I started many
things) however I havn't gone far. Mainly because Oberon is not the
best language for such stuff, I had not enough time, design is rather
complicated and I needed some help that wasn't there. I can put the
existing modules on the VisualOberon homepage if someone wants to take a
look. I mail to the list if it there.

I think such library will be agood thing. I discussed this with MvA and
he agreed (somehow :-)), but stated that such library will likely not
part of OOC (simply because the OOC/oo2c archive is already very huge)
but will act as an add-on package. This is problem, as long as he put
it in reach of the oo2c distribution.

Yes, not raining here nn germany, better than the most days :-|

No, I thought the Oberon-A project silently disappeared. Seems like
Frank lacked time or interest at the end.
