[Oberon] "Inner core" and "Outer core".

[Jörg]

The definition of inner vs outer core is not totally correct:
In ProjectOberon only these four modules build the inner core:
- Kernel.Mod (memory mgmt, disk storage mgmt, traps, timer)
- FileDir.Mod (directory handling)
- Files.Mod (File handling)
- Modules.Mod (module loading)

They are the only four modules that are statically linked and loaded by the bootloader into memory. All the rest of the OS (display, windows, fonts, mouse, keyboard, text editor, Oberon main loop) is in the outer core and loaded dynamically by Modules.Mod. The linker and compiler are not part of the core.
