   Maybe I'm just daft, but without an implementation, I fail to see how
these "exception" definitions will work on *general* implementations of
Modula-2.  Sure, rigged versions of "setjmp" and "longjmp" on a UNIX version
of M2 will work, but how about a PC version?  I'd sure like to hear your 
ideas of implementing general versions of these routines (which look good
in the definition module).  There just doesn't seem a way to do it in the
language definition for general implementations.
