I already coded my own ASCII text file I/O module. The problem is
related with a standard text file ASCII I/O module, at least within
Oberon/F. I already proposed to Mr. Dominik from OMI, that I would pay
the development of such a module. I suppose that this is the best way
that I can help improve this situation. What else can I do? I do not
have the authority not even the necessary skills to propose a standard
ASCII text file I/O module.

I would like to use Oberon2, but I will not use it with this current
deficiency of minimum standards.

Do you remember?

Have you already figured out why your company is seriously looking
at Java and not at Oberon2?
