0 Structure of the Library

The library coming with p1 Modula-2 has three logical parts: The standard library contains the modules defined in the standard, especially heap management, input / output and mathematical functions.

The p1 specific extensions support the additional data structures of p1 Modula-2 (e.g. "VECTOR" and "BCD" numbers) and allow access to the run time environment of p1 Modula-2.

The Macintosh interface contains the complete access to the Macintosh toolbox.

The definition module (part of the distribution kit) is listed for all modules. In chapters 1 (standard library) and 2 (additional library modules) a detailed description of the functionality of the modules is given. Implementation details may be looked at in the implementation modules beeing part of the distribution kit. In chapter 3 (the Macintosh interface) a list of all definition modules is given and the Modula-2 specific specialities are explained. Please refer the appropriate manuals (e.g. "Inside Macintosh", the documentation comming with XTools, or the BSD manual pages) for detailed descriptions of these modules.
