[Oberon] [EXT] Portability of Project Oberon

[Skulski, Wojciech]

Andreas:

  I will do it then. I will still use BlackBox for creating master files with color. I would prefer using V4 Text, bu BlackBox cannot write V4 Text. It can only read.  Maybe someone knows how to write V4 Text format from under BlackBox?

I’d probably consider using those Def files in Extended Oberon, if only the one large SysDef.Mod file
were split into several smaller ones, as Jörg had suggested, e.g. DevDef, RegDef, MemDef, etc. It
would have to be a sensible choice though, which minimizes recompilations of one of them changes.

But one big SysDef file is a no-go. An import (which has a key) is NOT an include file used in C.
