- This is the V1.2 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
- 1.5MByte 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.
- The StartUp-Script will test your system and will report problems.
-
- NOTE: Oberon for Amiga doesn't work on XFH file systems.
-
- "Oberon System V4 for Amiga" is distributed as an lha archive. A directory
- will be created if you extract it. O4A is started using the Oberon icon.
-
- Additional archives:
- Oberon-NonFPU.lha - to use O4A without FPU
- Oberon-Src.lha - the full source of O4A
- Oberon-Fonts.lha - additional screen and printer fonts
- Dialogs.lha - advanced GUI and very nice programming example
- Expressions.lha - mathematical expressions within text documents
-
- NOTE: Don't store your private files into one of the subdirectories, but
- rather use the top directory, or a separate one, which you can add
- to the assign at the end of the Oberon StartUp-Script.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
- Please note the new 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".

- which you can also direct questions.
