TopSpeed Modula-2 won't let you do arithmetic on addresses.  And a
good thing, too, in my opinion.  Address arithmetic is one of the
most non-portable things you can do, and I'm a little shocked to
see an example of it in a textbook.

There's a procedure in one of the TopSpeed libraries called AddAddr
or something similar (sorry I can't be more explicit, my TopSpeed
manuals are at home) which will be an adequate substitute for the
INC in this example.  A better solution, though, would be to 
redesign the algorithm so that it didn't need to do address arithmetic.
