On the Ceres workstation developped at the Inst. of Inf. ETH the
standard Modula-2 Compiler defines CARDINAL as subrange of INTEGER,
for the range [MAX(INTEGER)..MAX(CARDINALold)] and further you may use
then LONGINT. In the manual is written that CARDINAL is obsolete and
should therefore be replaced by INTEGER or LONGINT wherever possible.
