- 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.
