Re: [Oberon] Accessing Oberon RISC5 files on other computers

At that point, you are talking about a FATnn (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, if memory serves me) filesystem on the SD card, and adding a FATnn filesystem to your Oberon system, plus code to recognize that a random SD card plugged into an Oberon system has a FATnn filesystem already on it.
Obviously. I am talking of whatever needs to be done to transfer the data in a reasonable way. If it is FAT, let it be FAT.
Which is kind of a mess, not to mention proprietary.
Every real product is a mess. How else? Are we insisting on worshiping a gold plated ivory tower? Beautiful, clean, and useless? Wojtek
I'd like to comment at this stage of this thread; but my damned html based email, has cut off the previous posts of the thread; and if I go on-line again to get the previous posts, how will I keep this one. We never had such problems with NativeOberon's Emailer, where you could keep multiple received and/or ready-to-send mails on the one/same screen. D.Danforth writes that he never needs more that 2 textFrames visible at a time. How can I learn to be brilliant like that too? == Chris Glur.

Just copy and paste quotations into the email: Quote: "someone said this" I reply Quote: "someone said that" I reply.
