JPI Modula-2 for the IBM compiles it without complaint.
The loop does not terminate when executed.
         -------------------------------------------------
A question for other JPI users:
Does your GRAPH.MOD library module work correctly on a Hercules graphics
card?  I have a Zenith 449 EGA video card which claims to emulate a Herc.
When I tried to modify an EGA program to use Hercules mode, I got garbage
on the screen.  Is this a fault in my program (I don't think so),
a fault in Zenith's emulation, or a fault in the library module?
I have version 1.5, s/n 5003.


Thanks.
