Thanks, and I'm wondering why
DEFINITION StdCoder lists only a few of the IM****Ts
of MODULE StdCoder, as if the rest are defaults ?

Yes, I found out that 'MODULE StdCoder' is only the human interface.
I want the encoding algorithm which is perhaps in MODULE Converters.
Probably with many other translators.
Or actually I'd just prefer to have the plaintext of C2cp.txt.
Since Oberon Microsystems is commercial, perhaps they have their own
'format'. This whole project is looking less viable; especially when the
do***entation [DEFINITION StdCoder]is written as *pdf, where there's
nothing but plain-text there, to justify pdf. And when a '*.txt' file is
some special, non-text encoding -- I get a bad feeling.
The same way as I only hope to use the *ALGORITHMS* of the mass of
C-code available, so also I only expected to use the algorithm of
BlackBox's "C to cp translator". But everything: C, cp, S3, V4; must
all be reduceable to plain-text source.
It's all the different format's/encodings of plain text that annoys me.
