Info about Next Two Articles
Barry_Cornelius
One is called "Significant Changes to the Language Modula-2" and the
other is called "All About Strings". Both articles represent the
position of the British Standards Institution's Working Group on
Modula-2 (M2WG). And, both were submitted to "MODUS Quarterly" on
30th April 1986 and are due to appear in MQ#6. Unfortunately, MQ#6
has not yet appeared.
It was hoped that by submitting these articles to MQ, we would have
some feedback from the Modula-2 community on the proposals.
Unfortunately, because of the non-appearance of MQ#6, we haven't had
any feedback yet. Please would you send any comments on these
proposals to me as soon as possible.
One of the articles uses the terms "exception" and "ordinal type".
"Exception" has roughly the same meaning as "error" has in the Pascal
Standard: if a program causes an exception then a run-time error has
occurred which may or may not be detected by a conforming processor.
"Ordinal type" means the same as it does in the Pascal Standard.
