 I attended the SIMULA Standards Group meeting at which cim was
 accepted as a bona fide SIMULA implementation. I seem to recollect
 that the only deviation of cim from Standard SIMULA was that
 parameters of virtual procedures had to be specified.

 In Standard SIMULA, virtual procedure parameter specifications are
 optional but in the original Common Base SIMULA, for which DEMOS was
 written, virtual parameter specifications were not allowed. The
 solution seems to be to alter your DEMOS source code to add
 specifications for the virtual procedure parameters.
