I downloaded a version of Oberon for Linux yesterday but when I 
tried it out I discovered an error in the compressed file. 
Unfortunately, I never took a note of the location so I can't try 
again - does anyone have the location which was posted to this 
newsgroup yesterday or the day before?

It was a version of Oberon which apparently included additional X 
fonts to cure some display problems that the author was having - 
I have had similar problems which is why I'd like to try it out.

Regards,
	Martin

Try "sport1.uibk.ac.at"

BTW: We also were not able to unzip the file 
"gzip: Oberon.Linux.Bin.tgz: invalid compressed data--format violated"
and have sent a message to the author.

Sorry, this was most probably my fault. I uploaded the file once more. Now
it should work.

P.S.: I included the Beautifier, a programm (of mine) that automatically 
formats Oberon-2 Source Code. See Beautifier.Text for Documentation.

P.P.S.: I'm amazed by the enormous interest in Oberon for Linux. I will most
probably keep upgrading this Oberon version until it has the quality of
Mac/Windows-Versions.
