Post by a***@gmail.comPost by p***@gmailHow many people run V4 ?
S3 runs nicely under linux, where the superior inet capability
of linux [being preemptive multi-tasking] combines with S3's
superior text handling.
V4 has some other/different applications which I'd like to try,
and under linux one can just swap between applications on the
same box.
Thanks for any feedback,

In the past, I ran V4 on several Unix boxes. I was able to use a
Linux V4 on an Intel machine running BSD Unix, and it needed some kind
of "wrapper" to make it appear Linux like. --- Ahem, as well as I
remember.
There is probably discussion about this circa 2000 in this newsgroup.
Wow!! Thanks. It's great to be able to switch between S3 *AND* V4.
V4 seems to be more 'consolidated', rather than a bunch of add-ons?
Like with a few big packages in their own directories.
The Web-package looks substantialy sized.
When I can, I prefer using the S3 browser instead of a 'full-featured'
one and perhaps the V4 one is more fully-featured.
The reason why I must stick with oberon is that for any real-heavy
text, I need to have the color/font 'paint facility' to help ME
absorb it. I'm pleased to see that V4 reads a S3 file with all the
different color/fonts. <BTW, someone kicked me on a *legal*
news group for spelling defence instead of defense, so I was
wondering if Canadians also use US instead of 'english' spelling?>
I wonder how many people realise that S3 can "build your own
color/font annotated 'books'" where eg. you can just paste in pdf
& other images, if need be, by the commonly available screen
capture facilities of linux [my oberon one 'mirror-images'
the images - by mistake].
I'll think I'll join the V4 mailing list and then I might find how
to set the DNS ...etc. [that's what the error said] for http,
and the mail & news parameters..etc. which are in Oberon.Text
for S3.
BTW mc [the clone/extension of the brilliant DOS
Norton commander] is IMO essential as a background
framework for the 2 oberon systems [or any miscl linux tasks].
It facilitates many file-jobs, including 'visually' copying/moving
...etc. files between the various directories.
