[Oberon] Message Objects in Oberon

[Florian Negele]

Dear Srinivas,

according to the procedures Texts.Store and Texts.Close from your source 
code, Oberon text files begin with two tag bytes indicating the type and 
version, followed by a four byte offset that skips the rest of the 
header and points to the beginning of the actual contents. The offset is 
relative to the beginning of the file and represented in the byte order 
of the machine that stored the file in the first place (little-endian in 
your case). Note that Oberon uses carriage-return characters for new 
lines whereas Linux uses new-line characters. With this information at 
hand, it should be easy to write a small converter tool running on your 
system. Please feel free to contact me if you need further help.

Best regards,
Florian
