I think Readf and Writef correspond to scanf and printf in C and have
similar syntax.

Has anyone written a standard input/output module for this compiler? (it is
the "Powell" research compiler for UNIX distributed by DEC for a nominal fee.)

BTW, I would like to see a lot of Modula-2 software posted to the net.
Class projects, custom modules, anything like that would be great!
