Both SIZE and TSIZE are part of the language as defined by Wirth, and should be
available in the pseudo-module SYSTEM. Try putting

FROM SYSTEM IMPORT SIZE, TSIZE;

in your module. SIZE returns the storage size of a variable, TSIZE the storage
size of a type. All the Modula-2 compilers I have used have provided these, so
I would be surprised if Fitted Software Modula-2 did not.
