[Oberon] Locator for Shadow Directory under Blackbox

Sun Nov 13 21:27:12 CET 2016

I downloaded the .deb file for the Linux Blackbox version, and I did not
immediately know where the server / shadow directory was.  I thought I
would write a short program to let me know where it was.

I learned some more of how BlackBox works, and re-read some source in
HostFiles.  I decided that my short program below should work to correctly
show the path to the file that is opened.  It does not on the Windows
1.7-rc1 nor on the Linux version derived from it.

I have encoded a short program, TestPath, as well as a file
Test/Docu/Patch_HostFiles.odc.  There are 3 patches to HostFiles, and with
minimal testing this seems to work on1.7-rc1 for windows running under Wine
on Ubuntu 14.04.5.  I assume it will work correctly elsewhere.  I have not
been able to rebuild the Linux distribution, so it is not verified there.

HostFiles is part of the boot loader, so BlackBox.exe will need to be
relinked in order to test the patch.

I try to be very cautious when changing system files, but I really do think
this is the behavior that should occur.
