[Oberon] Re (n): BootManager.

[peter at easthope.ca]

Hello All,

> What about the source code? Are there any?

BootManager.Asm, BootManager.Mod, BootManager.Text and 
BootManager.Tool are now in the wikibook.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/A2#Sources,_Tools_and_Configuration_Texts_in_A2

Those copies serve primarily for convenient instructional access.  
They are not necessarily identical to the latest revision at the ETHZ 
or elsewhere.

Hypothetically, executables BootManager.Bin, BootManagerMBR.Bin and  
BootManagerTail.Bin can be Base64 encoded and put in the book as text 
files.  In my view this is not a good choice.  Currently the best 
place for the executables is a versioning repository at the ETHZ. 

I understand that not everyone can maintain a working copy of a big 
repository.  For those users, an appropriate secondary location for 
executables is Sourceforge. It has archives for A2 and for S3. If 
someone can put the executables there, thanks.

The objective of the wikibook is to explain technical details in a 
readily accessable and comprehensible way. Please notify me of any 
error.  More strictly, please notify me of any source of confusion.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

The world is at war with a virus.  People are dying.  In many places 
the death rate is increasing.  Please do whatever you can to help.

Thanks,                   ... P. Lyall Easthope
