Оберон-клуб «ВЄДАsoft»

I made a text file called hi.txt
compressed it with zx7 and got hi.txt.zx7

I cant open that file with a text editor so i cant copy and paste it into an oberon file,

do i have to 'include' that file if so, how?

You can do it in the following way. I already gave you a link to the clip where this method is used. But there is XDev used, whereas you are using a command-line Ofront+ that does not yet support constant arrays.

zx7-packed text is a binary data, and you can insert it into the Oberon program as a binary resource using the substitution of the implementation of an array, which you specify in the .Def file as an Oberon-array, and in the C-file as a constant array filled with your data.
