This is the V4 Beta release (0.10a) of "Oberon for Amiga" of ETH Zurich.

This Release includes a bug fix. O4A will not crash anymore, if Popups are
used. If you own V0.10 you do not need the full new release.
There is a file (Oberon-V0.10a-Update.lha) to update from V0.10 to V0.10a.

"Oberon for Amiga" requires at least an MC68020, FPU and a minimum of 1.5MByte
of free memory. 3MByte of RAM are needed for real work.  
We have tested it on WB3.0. This version requires
WB2.0 or better, but the screen mode requester will be available only with
WB3.0 or better. Screen depth, height and width can now be changed in WB2.0
too, using the System.ChangeMode command with arguments. System.ShowMode will
supply them for the current setting. Just edit, and apply ChangeMode.
"Oberon for Amiga" works best with 8 colors (3 planes).

NOTE: Oberon for Amiga doesn't work on XFH file systems.

"Oberon for Amiga" is distributed as an lha archive. The archive contents have
to be copied into a common directory (e.g. Work:Oberon). This directory should
be put in your command search path. "Oberon for Amiga" is started using the
Oberon icon.

Note: If you already installed Oberon for Amiga 0.6, you should use a new directory,
      as this beta uses subdirectories for different kind of files.

      If you installed Oberon for Amiga 0.7, you should first delete the contents
      of the System directory, as now these files are split over more directories.

      Don't store your private files into one of the subdirectories, but rather
      use the top directory, or a separate one, which you can add to the
      assign in the Oberon script.

When started for the first time, "Oberon for Amiga" will ask for the preferred
screen mode and resolution (only WB3.0 or better). This information will be
stored in the environment variable Oberon4Amiga. The command System.ChangeMode
can be used to change the value at a later time.

Now you should read the file Release.Notes.Text, to find out what has changed
since the last release or Welcome.Text if you use the system for the first time.

If "Oberon for Amiga" gets out of control (e.g. because of a looping command),
use the KillOberon icon to terminate it. The Amiga OS has problems if a process
is interrupted, while it is waiting for a message reply. To avoid problems,
Ctrl-C refuses to work, when it detects a possible critical situation.

System.Quit terminates the Oberon process. It is the normal way to leave
"Oberon for Amiga".

Please mail any bugs encountered to ludwig@inf.ethz.ch, to which you can
also direct questions.
