Hugh Moore's posting is an example of the sort uncalled for rudeness that 
gives the net a bad smell. If he does not like the posting, don't read it.
As a matter of fact if he had taken the trouble to unpack the oberon files,
he would of found that in addition the the oberon compiler it contains a
number of source code files (an example plus the librarys). 

Just because you are not face to face with someone you are not free from the
usual modes of civil and polite behaviour. 

A more reasonable complaint with the oberon posting is that it needed an
introduction so people would have a sense of what was within. But that happens
all the time in this and other news groups.

One thing is sure I will ignore any posting by Hugh Moore in the future.
