	There have been many references in info-modula-2 to overloading
	a procedure called PUT.   
The procedure PUT I mentioned was from the module Text_IO in Ada.
I was using it as a bad example, sorry for the confusion.

	The Draft BSI Standard I/O Library has routines which deal with 
	the input and output of CHARs, CARDINALs, INTEGERs, BOOLEANs and REALs.
Yippee.  When can us mortals have a look?  I'd like to try
implementing it instead of the one I hacked up.  I know its only
a draft, but then that's what Wirth's book really is, isn't it?
