[Oberon] Processing Text in each of several files & garbage collection.

[peter at easthope.ca]

Hi,

For an arbitrary number of files, Oberon.HTML.Mod can create an HTML 
file from Text a file.  This code is visible near the end of 
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/Oberon.HTML.Mod .

  WHILE (S.class = Texts.Name) & (Texts.Pos(S) < end + S.len + 1) DO
    Out.String(S.s); Out.String(" => ");
    NEW(T); Texts.Open(T, S.s);
    CompileT();
    Texts.Scan(S)
  END
  
All the opened Texts remain in memory until garbage collection after the 
HTML module is unloaded; correct?  Can memory be salvaged without 
unloading the module?

A message from B. Smith-Mannschott in 1999 is somewhat relevant.

Thanks,                 ... Lyall E.
