This is the V1.3 release of "Oberon System V4 for Amiga" (O4A) of ETH Zurich.
"Oberon System V4 for Amiga" requires at least an MC68020 and a minimum of
1.2MByte of free memory (2.5 MByte recommended). Floating point calculations
(types REAL and LONGREAL) additionally require a FPU. This version requires
WB2.0 or better. A screen mode requester will be available only with
asl.library V38 and higher. "Oberon System V4 for Amiga" works best with
16 colors (4 planes) and high resolutions (1024*768 or higher).
The StartUp-Script will test your system and will report problems.
NOTE: Oberon for Amiga doesn't work on XFH file systems.
Starting from CD:
Create your privat Oberon directory at your hard drive. Copy the "Oberon"
icon to this directory. Klick to the "Oberon" to start O4A.
Startind from the hard drive:
Copy the "oberonv4" directory to your hard drive (8 MB). Now klick
to the "Oberon" icon at your disk to start it.
When started for the first time, O4A will ask for the preferred
screen mode and resolution (only with asl.library >=V38). This information
will be stored in the environment variable Oberon4Amiga. The command
System.ChangeMode can be used to change the value at a later time.
After this you can choose to use O4A at a private screen or in a window at
a public screen. A private screen is the normal way.
Now you should read the file Release.Notes.Text, to find out what has changed
since the last release, Oberon4Amiga.Guide.Text and Welcome.Text if you use
the system for the first time. If you do not know how to open an Oberon text
press the HELP key to read the Welcome.Text.
Please note the file ReferenceCard.ps. It is a nice piece of docu.
If "Oberon System V4 for Amiga" gets out of control (e.g. because of a looping
command), use the KillOberon icon to terminate it. The Amiga OS has problems
if a process is interrupted, while it is waiting for a message reply. To avoid
problems, Ctrl-C refuses to work, when it detects a possible critical
situation.
System.Quit terminates the Oberon process. It is the normal way to leave
"Oberon System V4 for Amiga".

Have fun with it,
