cim is not a full implementation of Standard SIMULA. In particular it does not
allow the original uncommitted use of virtual specifiers for procedures. As
DEMOS was written before the new standard introduced the binding possibility
for virtual procedures it simply uses the specifiers as you mention.

        virtual : procedure Reset, Report, Rreport, Rupdate,
         Resetextra;

You need to change these to a full binding, e.g.

virtual: procedure p is integer procedure p(i); integer i;;

I think the correct bindings for the DEMOS procedures will allow it to compile
with cim.
