 That apparent simple question, could have a complex answer,
because it concerns multiple moving targets.

Unless you kept carefull notes how would you know the details
of the 'pen which you bought years ago'?  You just use it.
And the URL may have changed.

But no, Gunter Feldmann prefers to refer to unix, although
I've been running his LEO under: Mandrake9,FC1,Slak13

Native/LinuxBased is LNO which can't do all the tricks of LEO.
OTOH the discipline imposed by LNO's constraints has less
chance of making me crazy. N-O constraints of no file-tree, forcing
you to mount separate partitions, forces you to manage, rather
than just run-amok! I'm hoping that LNO will soon be able to run
on rPi - under FrameBuffer. LNO can mount N-O partitions, LEO can't.
Unless there's a hidden trick to do that too?!

 PS. Here's my failed attempt to find my <LEO>.tgz
 which shows:
 ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-bremen.de/home/fld/oberon/x86.Linux/

 I fetched the <x86_Linux_Oberon_SOURCES>.tgz
  recently and would like to ask about:
   how to get the Frame corresponding to a <markedDocument>
