For justice's sake:

BlackBox was created by Oberon microsystems, Inc.,
based on the Oberon foundation from the ETHZ.

Actually, it is a great help when explaining what BlackBox is,
to emphasize the fact that
a co-designer of BlackBox Clemens Szyperski
published a world bestseller based on that design,
and was hired by Microsoft Research as a result.

And that the great compiler expert Borland's JVM was done with BlackBox.

Those secrets are to be communicated in whisper, with eyes wide open etc.

Also: 
A revision of the XDS Oberon compiler is in public beta.
Expect a thoroughly corrected and updated English version 
of "Algorithms and Data Structures. Oberon version" soon.
It is based on the 2009 Russian translation 
whose 3rd printing has just been sold out.
Compiler Construction has been revised (it must be on Wirth's ETHZ page).
Project Oberon is being revised too.
Another scientific lab has adopted BlackBox for all their needs.
(I'll put Wojtek into direct contact with them.)
cheers
