[Oberon] Oberon Digest, Vol 237, Issue 2

[pfoten.falken0p at icloud.com]

Hello Daniel Schmid,

You seem to entertain the idea that the module In is for interactive user input, but many implementations read from existing text instead. You should check chapter 7.1 in Martin Reiser‘s Programming in Oberon. ( E.g. look at the values of Done to see if input is available.)

Regards
Sven Mertens
