[Oberon] PO2013 - ORL Linker Static Buffer

[Jörg]

No, it does not allocate anything from the heap.
Please read chapter 8 carefully (Figure 8.1) to understand the 7 different memory areas the OberonOS uses.
https://inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/ProjectOberon/PO.System.pdf

Control question to check the understanding
- what are the 7 reagion and how big are they?
- Try to find out what region the Linker (ORL) is using? (it‘s not the heap, so 6 to go :-)
