[Oberon] ORX.WriteFile

[Jörg]

Hi

So far, I only detected one issue with Linz Oberon:
Linz Oberon generates temporary files where the "Windows uptime" is used to make the temp file name unique.
If your Windows is up and running for more than 24.8 days, the filename routine has a bug, the temp file cannot be generated, Linz Oberon stops working.

In short: boot your PC before using Linz Oberon. Restart won't work.

I ported NW's compiler to LinzOberon quite some time back. I would have to port over the latest ProjectOberon source again.
I will see whether I can make my ISO module available. You know there is quite a difference of making something work for me quick and dirty and make it work for others as well with documentation etc.

    I use Windows. I am typing this on Windows XP. My W10 laptop is sleeping nearby.  
    
    > I also ported the Oberon-07 compiler to Linz Oberon on Windows 10 as cross compiler. 
    
    This is very interesting. Is your port available? I have LinzV4 on both Windows XP, W7, and W10. Linz V4 seems to have some problems on higher Windows, but I have not seen a pattern yet.
    
    It would be nice to use BlackBox for the cross environment. It is more friendly, though less kosher.

    Very interesting. I would love to use your tools. I will pursue a few steps with RiskFive before designing a successor board.

    No A2 in my plans.
    
    Thank you,
