I have been following the messages about this subject and until this morning I did not see the real impact of this "new feature".

I have been trying to find an error for 5 days in a small demo program converted from C to Modula-2 which runs under MS-Windows. I have been having problems with the Windows interface so I have concentrated on that area. The fault reported in ERRORINF.$$$ is "No return value for procedure" and that is all I get, the addresses are no help due to the program running under windows.
Debugging with VID can't be done, the Windows debug version does not report anything, etc. 

I found the problem this morning, I forgot a RETURN!

Cheers
Ernie
