[Oberon] Windows Linz V4 white on black

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Chris:

  thank you! Colors.Normal switched to white-on-black. I wanted to do it because comments in my 20-year old V4 software are written in colors which are poorly visible against white background.

> What version does it display in the System.Log?

Oberon for WindowsTM  V4.0-2.3 on Windows NT 5.1
I downloaded V4 directly from Linz. I am running it under Windows XP SP 3.

The same V4 has problems on Windows 10 on my laptop. Some popup menus trap. I have not chased this bug yet.

> ETH Plugin Oberon for Windows

Is it not System-3? Also, what is "plugin"? I remember they released System-3 running inside Netscape, but Netscape has been long gone. So how does this plugin run? 

Thank you,
Wojtek

Execute the command Colors.Normal or Colors.Inverse to switch it back.

What version does it display in the System.Log?

I'm running it in colour on Windows 10 and it reports:

   "Oberon for Windows (TM) V4.0-2.3 on Windows NT 6.2"

I haven't forgotten it but I rarely use it. On the occasions I use Oberon on
Windows the version I use is ETH Plugin Oberon for Windows (TM) / Win32 2.5
(7.2.2009)
