[Oberon] DOS Oberon

[Pablo Cayuela]

Dear Hans Klaver,
As a side note, I do have some versions of DOS Oberon too, and I didn't get
the source code either.
I wonder about the print screen picture that you included it.
In what DOS emulator do you have DOS Oberon working, and in what host
operating system?
Thank you in advance.

PS: I'm also searching for the source code of DOS Oberon, if anyone have
some direction I'll appreciate it.
