Oops. I can't find the paper - must have been a long time ago. If you have
a
look at the ETH publicly available Tech Re****ts there is one on Oberon sym
files and an approach to determining what changes can be made without
requiring a recompile of existing dependencies. That might be more
interesting actually.
There seems to be only Oberon material left there, no M2 stuff.
