[Oberon] Texts.StoreAscii?

[Jörg]

No. The Oberon type „Texts.Text“ is more than pure ASCII text; e.g. it contains font information not available in pure ASCII text. So, you need a procedure to convert Texts.Text to pure ASCII.
This is not intended to be done in module „Texts“, as the name states it handles „Texts" and not ASCII files. Theoretically you could incorporate „StoreAscii" in module „Edit“. But as the original module „Edit“ did not offer it, you would hamper the compatibility between Oberon implementations. This is the reason why EditTools (ET) was invented, offering the procedure „StoreAscii“. You can see module „EditTools" as an extension to the original "Edit".
