- extremely
- > What would you consider a fair price: (<$100, $100 <= x <= $250, >$250)
- $100
- > Would price be a deciding factor in a purchase?
- Well I'm not going to pay $250. However reliability and code effeciency would
- be at least as important.
- > Would you be less interested if it required a separate linker?
- Nope, prefer separate linker, especially MS compatible
- > How interested would you be in an Oberon-2 to C++ translator?
- Zilch, yuck, not at all. Who wants to debug c++ code, let alone translated
- code.
- > How interested would you be in an Oberon-2 to Ada translator?
- Even less, see above.

- Using OberonM as a possible replacement for M2 and now that have Processes and
- Semaphores more or less under control, it looks like a useful beast. Since
- the Ada-2 faction killed M2, Oberon looks like best option for souls not
- wanting to use C-sick or C-very sick.
