Is MSDOS Oberon System 3, ver 2.0 substantially debugged and
  maintained, or AM I JUST WASTING MY TIME !! ?
When trying to read OberonGuide.Text (with its viewer being
full screen size) the text lines are approx. 134 chars. long,
and hence overflow/truncate (when viewed with VGA/EGA). Why ?
 Its a pity that the designers couldn't stick to their
claimed moto 'keep it simple', and just use plain old ascii
instead of playing with fonts - at least until the
  system is mature and stable.
When I try to:  "< module.proc      fromFile         ToFile>"
  'execute' Miscellaneous.MakeAscii OberonGuide.Text OBGD.ASC~
I observe in the System.Log viewer 'Miscellaneous.MakeAscii',
indicating that the procedure 'Misc...M..Ascii' ran OK ?
But later I find no expected OBGD.ASC file,
only that the file 'filename.tex' has been updated. ? ! ?
 Numerous other attempted tasks with this package seem DUD.

 Please some one, reveal my faulty logic, or admit that
I should not expect better from this non commercial package.

 Thanks in anticipation, Chris   chris.glur@onwe.co.za
