Installation instructions for Experimental Oberon are provided in the README file: https://github.com/andreaspirklbauer/Oberon-experimental/blob/master/README....

Thanks for woking on this. Until now I've never tried to read a *.md file. How do you recommend it be read. A text editor is a last resort but there must be something better.

"md" stands for Markdown, which is a simple way to markup a plain text file without using HTML. Apart from using a web browser to let github.com convert the README.md file to an HTML web page you could use e.g. Notebooks ( http://www.notebooksapp.com/ios/markdown/ ) to see the formatted view of a .md file I use Notebooks (which has free trial versions for Mac and PC, and also a version for iOS) to make and arrange plain text notes (including Markdown notes) and synchronize them between my different computers and iPhone. In Notebooks you can edit a text file using Markdown syntax and switch on-the-fly to the formatted view. Hans Klaver
