Hi John! There is a very easy way to fix your problem. The line in your main
program should be: "Dummy := OpenLibraries();". If this looks strange,
remember that in Modula-2 you can procedure variables. Your original
statement tries to assign a procedure to a BOOLEAN variable which results in
a type mismatch. Putting the "()" indicates that the procedure must be
called, and whatever it returns should be assigned to "Dummy". This is a
little weird, since not to many languages have procedure variables. (In C
there are pointers to functions which are basicaly the same thing….)
…….hope this helps……Richie
