How does one express dynamic allocation of single and
multi-dimensional arrays in Modula-2?  How does one pass a dynamically
allocated multi-dimensional array as an argument to a procedure?

For example, if a two or three dimensional array of INTEGERs resides in a
file on disk, and the dimensions of the data set are specified at the
beginning of the file, how can the file be loaded and manipulated
using a Modula-2 program?

My references on Modula-2 lead me to believe that this elementary
operation is difficult or impossible to solve elegantly or portably in
Modula-2.
