Leonardo is compiled in the current WinAos2.00 release as are all standard 
Oberon applications since they are part of the bluebottle release. WinAos 
is the trial to port Bluebottle to Windows without loosing the "seemless 
integration" functionality. So, all Oberon packages that are running under 
Bluebottle should also run in WinAos. Nearly all Aos applications should 
also run in Bluebottle. Exceptions are "packages" that make use of 
low-level system parts (such as, for example, TCP tracing, profiling etc.)

What is missing are documents like Lenoardo.Panel etc.
Solution: Get AosOberonApps1.zip from the bluebottle server: 
http://www.bluebottle.ethz.ch/downloads/crazy/AosOberonApps1.zip
Copy all non-OBX files from this archive to your WinAos-Work-directory and 
Leonardo is working fine (at least on my computer ..)

I'll incorporate all missing files in the next release.

Generally speaking: use of packages is deprecated in WinAos at the moment. 
I did not have enough time to repair everything. Constructing and debugging 
(parts of) the kernel has been a full time job.

Felix.
