     Hallo! 

     To make my progamming in Modula-2 easier, I have made up my own 
     nameconvention. It has the following appearance: 

          I) Always use capitals to mark new words in long names. 

             Ex.  LongIdentifyerWithManyWords. 

         II) Names of variables, constants and procedureparameters 
             always begins with small letters. 

             Ex.  variableOrConstantName. 

        III) Names on types, procedures and modules always starts with 
             a capital. 

             Ex.  MODULE WordCounter; 



     I would like to hear some comments on this convention and also if 
    there is a standard "namerule" that programmers in general use. Or 
    is it a "wild" mixture in the Modula-2 program-jungle. 


    Please send mail, post an article to news or what ever! THANKS!
