LNO flies on USBstik:64bit-TinyCore.

An extract of a post to TC:Forum:-- I'm writing this partly to exercise/prove LinuxNativeOberon, which runs nicely under TC64, from VT-mode, in a Framebuffer. With LNO I'm able to clean-up my forum-thread. Sorry to have to say: the arty/grafiti format of the forum makes it less functional than NNTPs of the 90s. The ETHO/wily family allows the user to: have multiple text frames accessible together on the screen; mouse driven - at the extreme can be used without keybrd; no need to look-away from the screen to find the X-key; User created menus of Commands are just <moused> also to include parameter/s; ETHO change color & font to give extra dimension/association to complexly related text-pieces in several TextFrames, by merely wipe-text & <dab in sample> of required color/font; and much more.

Here is the address again. http://easthope.ca/UnixAosUsage.html Below the heading "Configuration" is text in fixed pitch font. That is the script. Also note the sentence "The following script ..." and the line "#!/bin/bash".

This might be related. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_Algorithm_X Interesting to learn that the Boyer-Moore algorithm was published so recently as 1977. Oberon discussion has always emphasized code reusability. Therefore disappointing that each of the prcedures in quesstion is implemented for use within the parent module or is a command rather than a parameterized proceedure.
