Hope it's O.K. to follow-up my own post.  Thanks to the people who
pointed out that Oberon-M 1.1 just appeared in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
It was just what I wanted!  For others who might be interested, it
is a c. 200K .ZOO file that includes a limited (no floating point, .OBJ  
code produced only works on 80186 and above) but functional compiler, as
well as two PostScript documents on Oberon and about 60K of sample
Oberon code.  It seems to be freeware, with the restriction that you 
can not re-sell it or what you produce with it.  (But I could be
wrong.)  The author is E.R. Videki, who lists his address as:
  erv@k2.everest.tandem.com
  IP address 130.252.59.153
  P.O. Box 58
  Morgan Hill, CA  95038

Thanks again!  I reccommend this highly to anyone who wants to
dabble in Oberon in DOS for little, if any, monetary investment.
