Re (2): [Oberon] repair to HTMLDocs.Mod.
Thomas,
The index check will be included ...
Thanks.
... next Bluebottle crazy fresh release.
Alluring, although neither the March 12, 2004 nor the Xmas, 2005 release is stable enough to use on this ASUS P2L97 ACPI BIOS Revision 1009, Pentium II 300 MHz. Not one other mention in this list! Nobody has seen such a freeze-up problem? Centralization of configuration of Oberon in Oberon.Text was one of its many advantages. Seems that Aos might be drifting away from this concept. Ie. Aos.Par, AosConfig.XML, Menu.Personal.XML, TextPopups.Text & etc. A Devil's Advocate might wonder whether this diversification is really beneficial. I understand that Aos.Par is not XML; could the Aos.Par be in a comment? Eg. ============================================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?> <!-- # Aos config strings ... --> <!-- Aos configuration To edit: EditTools.OpenAscii AosConfig.XML To update: AosConfig.Init --> <!DOCTYPE Config [ ... </Config> ============================================= Regards, ...

I understand that Aos.Par is not XML; could the Aos.Par be in a comment? Eg. Aos.par is not really used as a file. It is the boot configuration and contains parameters that are needed in the boot process far before the system is ready to run a file-system or an XML parser. We are currently trying to move the network configuration from Aos.par into AosConfig.XML because of new options and possibilities with IP v4 and v6 that can be better configured in XML than in the simple key/value scheme of Aos.par. Personalized items in separate files simplify the update process since
the files can be saved as whole and dont need to be merged manually. (We encourage our students to update every other day ;-) ) --Thomas
