I had a look at http://nativeoberon.sourceforge.net/
So I would just use this existing project. I wanted to register with Sourceforge
but it didn't work just now. I will try again.
Then I guess Pieter will have to accept me as a developer :-)

I also remembered that there were only small changes.

It looks like he disappeared. The mail address given seems to be invalid.
But as I see it the code isn't too complex to understand.

BTW, does anybody have a running LNO ? I tried to install one last year
with 2 different Linux distributions but it didn't work :-(
Be careful: I mean especially the Oberon made by Peter Matthias running on Intel.
Not any other NO running on a Linux.
And if you have one I would be interested in the Linux you use.
