	Ok. I have a question about the difference between C and
Modula-2.
Here's some C code (correct I hope):
struct ex {char word[10};
struct ex test[10];
struct ex *p;
p = &test[0];   /* or p = test */
p ++;
/* p now points to test[1] according to K&R2 pg. 98 */

Here's some Modula-2 code:
TYPE ex = ARRAY[0..10] OF CHAR;
VAR test : ARRAY[0..10] OF ex;
    p : POINTER TO ex;
BEGIN
  p = ADR(test[0]);
  INC( p );
  (* p now points to test[0][1] *)

So, if the above code is correct, the question I have is why does
incrementing a pointer in C point to the next element in the array?
while in Modula-2 it doesn't (the pointer needs to be incremented
by the size of the array element).
How does C do that? Is it the compiler? In Modula-2, to increment to
the next element in the array it would require:
  INC( p, SIZE(ex) );

So is this code correct? And how is this feature of C implemented?
