ETHNO has a one-level or "flat" filesystem.
Designed that way deliberately! It is discussed
in the orginal articles about the system.
Some should be in www.oberon.ethz.ch.
Hierarchical filesystems were invented in 1950s
or so when memories were too small to hold intended
data structures. If you must have a hierarchical
filesystem, then DOS or Linux or Windows Oberon
are options.
Just so you know: so many newcomers complain about
the ETHNO filesystem, before understanding, that it
has become a sore point.

Not too interesting but I can mention when it
is working again.
