- After reading Nelson's ``Systems Prpgramming with Modula-3'' I have the
- impression that the standard intefaces in M3 are
-
- 1. Text
- 2. Thread
- 3. Word
- 4. Floating-point
-
- while the RECOMMENDED intefaces are
-
- 1. Fmt (Textual formatting)
- 2. Pkl (``pickles'' - binary files, depends on Wr and Rd, see below)
- 3. Table (Generic hash tables).
-
- SRC Modula-3 also provides interfaces for input and output
- (Wr, Rd, Stdio, FileStream and WrClass), but these are not
- part of the standard.
-
- So the question is:
- *** Why are the interfaces for input and output not part of the standard? ***
