Well, the answer is still user defined data structures.  Use an opague datatype
to simulate a multidimentional array.  If you are looking for Quick BASIC's
REDIM, I don't thing you'll find it in Modula 2.  Afterall, isn't that why we
all have to go thru the data structure course ? To learn about the wonderful
world of dynamic datatypes.

Yup, you cannot get away from POINTERs.

Good Health.
