Hi, OLR is now cited in the downloads page in the wiki. http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/OCP/Downloads If there are any objections, please fix it or ask me to. Suggestion *.Mod and *.Tool files are in the olr working directory, mixed with user files. To parallel NO and UnixAos more closely, these files might be in a sys subdirectory parallel to arm, mips and x86? Thanks, ...

Yesterday I created an account at OpenCores and I'm willing to give Project Oberon yet another home there. Advantages: o PO will have a subversion repository there. o Chance for a bigger audience Disadvantage: o Possiblity of forking and yet more versions than we already have ...

today I stumbled over a link to OpenCores (http://opencores.org/opencores,mission) I'm think it would be nice to add Project Oberon there. -- Bernhard

Re (2): Format of MailMessages in Oberon.

> ... the RFC ... For POP3, the end of a message is specified in the 3rd paragraph here. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1939#section-3 Message separation in mbox is described, poorly, at the end of Appendix A here. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155 The period line is not mentioned. Tentative conclusion: Linux POP3 retrievers delete the period from the end of a message when appending it to the mbox file. Oberon assumes the period line is present in the mbox file. To have Oberon separate messages correctly, a Linux POP3 retriever should be configured to not delete "." <CR> <LF> <CR> <LF> when retrieveing a message and appending to mbox. Alternatively Mail.Panel should be revised to not require the period at the end of a message. Regards, ...

Format of MailMessages in Oberon.
by peter＠easthope.ca 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello Oberon Experts, When a message is sent with Mail.Panel, the System.Log shows this line. RCV: 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself That appears to be an artifact from interactive submission of a message.. Not significant when Mail.Panel sends the contents of a marked viewer. MailMessages has the mboxrd format with addition of the "." line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox#Family Is there any benefit in keeping the "." line in MailMessages? Thanks, ...
