	According to the 3.0 manual which i have in front of me, the
CP/M version still does not support var parameters in recursive procedures.
(I haven't been able to try the compiler yet because those silly folks at
Borland sent me a CP/M disk instead of the MS-DOS version i ordered, so
i can't report on how i like the new version until i get it exchanged).
