[Oberon] Windows 8.1

[Jörg Straube]

Hi

 

Two different Oberon versions are running on my PC (Windows 7)

- ETH: Plugin Oberon for Windows Win32 2.5 (18.12.2010) 

- Linz: Oberon for Windows V4.0-2.3

 

I did not test these version on Windows 8.

If the first is not running on your Windows 8.1, you might try the other one :)

Does anyone have the appropriate set of magickal incantations necessary to get Oberon running under Microsoft Windows 8.1?

 

I have the old Windows Plugin version running under Windows 7 Home, by running it in NT 4 compatibility mode.  (Without compatibility mode, it would start, opening the desktop, but the directories weren’t mapped properly, so most files couldn’t be found.)  It won’t even open the desktop on 8.1, at all.  Windows 8.1 Home (presumably) never heard of NT compatibility mode.

 

Or is it time to abandon hope of running Oberon on Windows, and build a Linux box?
