Hi Eric,

in the long period form 1989 to today the Oberon language as well
as the object file format got some improvements. Some of them are
incompatible. Therefore the old compiler and builder in the
Oberon subsystem don't work any more, but they have to stay as
parts of the old compiler get imported by modules belonging to
other parts of the system.

You can compile your module with the compiler in Aos and then
start it in the Oberon subsystem.
