    Thanks for the list of sites where to get OberonM.
    I copied the one in Zuerich and tried to run the Abu-Demo on a
    AT compatible with EGA screen, the sources compiled with no error
    messages. The program flashes briefly the screen and returns to DOS
    (3.3 by the way) Readme says that eventually module Screen has to be
    adapted, but it's not obvious how to select an EGA.
    Has anybody run the Abu-Demo and can give hints?
    Thanks for comments.

Hi,

	I was confused for a bit, too.  Try giving abu a filename as
an argument.

In article <INFO-M2%91041708320142@UCF1VM.BITNET> you write:

Just in case nobody else answered your question: ABU expects a
filename as argument, and it must be an existing file.

I saw your note about Abu.mod not working on an EGA monitor.  Being equipped
with an EGA monitor cannot be the problem (Abu was developed using one).  The
problem must be something else.   Do you have any more information?
