Dear Oberon/F user:

I first read about Oberon/F a year ago, when I noticed the lack of
an
ASCII text file module to do simple I/O. One year has already past and
the
situation has not changed.

Am I the only one who has the need of such a module? I know about
ObxAscii -- ridiculous joke in my opinion.

Is Oberon/F intended only for computer science experts? I am a civil
engineer and my concerns are far away from having to code my own ASCII
text
file I/O module.

Are ASCII text files an obsolete concept?

Could you please illumine my spirit about these Great Questions?

Regards,
Prof. Vinicius Fernando Arcaro
