True, but I think that in this case the problem can be solved by
"reorganisation" of the directories that contain oberon files, ie
Oberon's search path (env variable OBERON). Make sure that it doesn't
contain and pre System3 directories, or at least that they are listed
after the ones containing System3 files. Also make sure that your
personal oberondirectory(ies) doesn't contain any "system files" (ie
if you've for example modified System.Tool to accomodate your own
Tools or to get rid of that annoying ! in front of System.Quit you
need to perform your own changes to the new System.Tool supplied with
System3 and get rid of the pre System3 version). The problem should
cease to exist if you take these points into account, or at least it
did for me.
