	I did not quite get what is that enough difference.
	The only real differences are a more strict type model in the Modula-2
	and a somewhat different IO-routine set.
	In general conversions could be done with a fairly simple program
	if types are 'well' used in the Pascal program and one is ready to
	do some handwork with the IO.
