Re: [Oberon] Export of Oberon Mail.SendCmd().

Generally, re-using code instead of copying is a good approach. If you do so, then the whole code of Mail is imported in News. Possible but perhaps there is even a better approach to re-use code. What about this: try to separate all common code in an own module (e.g call it Communication.Mod or MsgBase.Mod or Utilities.Mod or so) and import this new module in Mail and in News. br Jörg > Am 14.06.2023 um 19:53 schrieb peter(a)easthope.ca: > > Hello again, > > Several procedures in Mail are used in Oberon News.

Oberon System 4 on 64-bit operating system?
by Richard Hable 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Hello all, I’d like to use Oberon System 4 in a presentation; however, I can’t find a version which works on a current 64-bit operating system. As I workaround, I’ve booted an old 32-bit Linux version from a USB stick, and then started Oberon V4 for GNU_Linux, version 1.7.02, from https://sourceforge.net/projects/oberon/files/Oberon%20V4%20for%20GNU_Linux/ Does anyone know a better way? Thanks for any hints Richard

Dear Richard What do you mean with Oberon System 4? I have OberonA2 on (Debian) Linux 64bit (as Peter suggested) and NW's original Oberon on PDW's RISC emulator (also in Debian) Kind regards Daniel On Mon, 2025-03-31 at 12:00 +0200, oberon-request(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch wrote: > Send Oberon mailing list submissions to > oberon(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/oberon > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > oberon-request(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch > > You can reach the person managing the list at > oberon-owner(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Oberon digest..." > > Today's Topics: > 1.

The Oberon subsystem of LinuxA2 Generic 64-bit can't serve the purpose? Thx, ... P. -- VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 work: en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:PeterEasthope

Programmatical access to a Text.

Hi, Yesterday I read https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/Text#Programmatical_Access_to_a_Text again and noticed some poor word usage and poor sentence structure. If anyone has time to read and comment, that may help. It's a short section. Where words Reader and reader first appear, I put them in quotation marks. Will that help a novice? Better without the quotation marks? Bold face would be better? To avoid difficulty for a color blind reader and confusion with a hyperlink, I'm reluctant to apply color on a name. Thx, ...
