I guess I didn't explain my install very well. You just create an empty file of from 5-?? megabytes with the included utility EXE and install Oberon into that one file. Oberon thinks it is in it's own partition and behaves in that fashion while your existing FAT partition simply sees one large file. No Lilo, Loadlin, nothing like that. I decided to install just about everything including games which means I have one large 30 meg file sitting on my C: drive. I have about 8 meg of empty space within that 30 meg to play with and Oberon compiled binaries are the size of DOS binaries (under 100k, most are under 20k). 8 meg is a HUGE space for Oberon binaries. :-) >I don't have a 4-channel IDE machine. Cool info is, if I chose OS/2, >I could install it from it. I realize that 30 meg is quite a bit to SurvPC users but a 5 meg install is a complete install of Oberon, not a mini install. This 5 meg would include the compiler and editors etc. All user interface are graphical in nature using `windowed' boxes but the Gadgets interface is more so. Gadgets accounts for much of the size dif between a 5 meg install and my 30 meg install. Gadgets is an optional second user interface not a requirement. Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
