Hello,
at the end of Wirth's book PIM2 ed.3 (german version) is a listing of
the def mod MathLib0, but no description. This module contains the two
procedures "real" and "entier". I have some ideas what this procs do,
but I'm not sure.

Is the
   PROCEDURE real(x:INTEGER): REAL;
only another form of FLOAT(CARDINAL(x))

or is the
   PROCEDURE entier(x:REAL): INTEGER;
just another form of INTEGER(TRUNC(x)) ?

Thanks for your help,
Mike
