[Oberon] Batch processing of Oberon commands

[Jörg]

For the first time I’m looking into ORC/Oberon0, as I never used ORC/Oberon0 so far.
I‘m not quite sure, but I guess there is a fundamental flaw in ORC.SR as Tomas had to insert a delay in the WHILE.

The SR code allows to send several commands to the other side (WHILE) before switching to the receive mode (REPEAT).

So, when a fast side sends several commands in sequence at highest speed, a very slow other side has no chance to fulfill these requests as SR has no handshake in the WHILE.

Interesting enough, Oberon0 on the other hand has a handshake protocol: when Oberon0 finishes command execution, it calls RS232.End = Send(7).

So, in my point of view what SR should do is requesting a command and wait for 7 before sending the next command.

Or do I miss something?
