The wave of in-yo-face-garbage from eg. Win10, has become intolerable, V4 under Win8.1 was usefull. Remind me: can Win:V4 <cd to any Dir which Win can access> and read/write from there, without specifying the full-path? And perhaps even have another instance <cd-ed to a different dir>? Where to D/L & install it for Win10? ==TIA.

I run the 1998 win95-NT Linz version V4.0-2.3 on Windows 10. As far as I know that is the latest version: ftp://ftp.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/pub/Oberon/Windows/win95-NT/ Regards, Chris Burrows CFB Software http://www.astrobe.com

Good, thanks. Some years ago I used Windows:V4 for projects which needed text-coloring. AFAIR I used System.Log [you don't need to type it, cos it's always displayed] as the <TOP> file of my projectS tree. Ie. it listed the dirs of the various projects. AFAIR, once I cd-ed to a project's Dir: loading & storing THAT dir's System.log would access the <management info> of THAT project. --- Now when I edit & Store the <Initial> System.Log, it's not there when I reboot. It seems that <Store & Load> aren't matched: one uses -/Oberon and the other uses -/Oberon/Users ?! --- Is it easy to increase the font-size eg. by some global: affecting the display? What about Wifi access? == TIA.

Did you mean System.Tool when you said System.Log? System.Tool is where I would put commands that I wanted to access regularly. System.Log is the viewer where system messages are displayed. Q1. Directories: ---------------- Experiment with the settings in the Oberon.Ini file which should be in the same directory as the main executable, Oberon.exe. The [System] section includes the comments: ;You can specify additional directories that will be searched when looking ;for a file. The order in which the directories appear in the list is ;also used when searching for files. Q2. Fonts: ---------- The [Fontmap] section in the Oberon.ini file includes the comments: ;By mapping a Syntax10.Scn.Fnt to Arial12.Scn.Fnt you can enlarge ;the font to be used for display (not for printing!). Q3. WiFi: --------- I'm not aware of any WiFi capability. Regards, Chris Burrows CFB Software http://www.astrobe.com
