Return codes really make me C-sick; I'd much rather write less-than-portable code in Modula-2 than pollute my normal-case code with a ridiculous number of IF statements [how would you like your conscious mind cluttered with paranoid thoughts like, "Have I been hit by a 747?" every time you cross the street?]. Implementation details would be nice, but I'm mostly interested in a "sanity check" regarding my own thoughts on its ease of implementation in Modula-2 as opposed to C. Thanks, Al
