Does your compiler have byte-sized cardinal type? If it is so, write something 
like

SHORTCARD[0..255]

As it happens, I left my the relevant Stony Brook manual at work.  However, thanks to the wonders of OS/2, I can whip up a sample program right away.  

This program:


MODULE PackTest;

FROM InOut      IMPORT WriteCard, WriteString, WriteLn;
FROM SYSTEM     IMPORT BYTE;

TYPE
    SubRange                = [0..255];
    SubRangeArray           = ARRAY SubRange OF SubRange;

VAR
    Size                                : CARDINAL;

BEGIN
    Size := SIZE(SubRange);
    WriteString('The Size of the subrange [0..255] is ');
    WriteCard(Size, 2);
    WriteLn;

    Size := SIZE(SubRangeArray);
    WriteString('The size of an array [0..255] of that subrange is ');
    WriteCard(Size, 2);
    WriteLn;

    Size := SIZE(BYTE);
    WriteString('The Size of a byte is ');
    WriteCard(Size, 2);
    WriteLn
END PackTest.

When Compiled to an executable by SBM2 for OS/2 produces this output:

The Size of the subrange [0..255] is  2
The size of an array [0..255] of that subrange is 512
The Size of a byte is  1

I believe that I have selected all of the options properly.  So, it appears that SBM2 does NOT pack small subranges into bytes even if there are arrays of those subrange values.

I thought this was the so-called 'student version'. Maybe things have changed
in their distribution. But I think that's why you don't have any Mac libraries.

As far as I know they're still there.
You might want to try the address

    D2734@applelink.apple.com

which should get you to Greg Galanos. I think he's the Marketing VP or some
such with Metrowerks. The address is for his AppleLink account.

"location" is of TYPE "ADDRESS". Addresses in the large models are composed of a segment and an offset part, at least if you're using an Intel processor compiler, like the TopSpeed one. Since INC only works on ordinal types in general, it won't work on a structured type like ADDRESS, which is a record composed of the two CARDINALs "Segment" and "Offset". The TopSpeed library provides you with the necessary procedures to do all the address arithmetic you need, though.

Simply use Lib.IncAddr(location,TSIZE(WORD)).

Glad to help,
Domus

Well I just installed my new copy of Metrowerks M2 on a Mac here,
i typed in a program and it seemed to work ok for me with no problem.
(except that it needs pathnames and the pathname editor doesn't like spaces
in the names of folders because it will wrap a line on a space if the line gets
too long).

But otherwise it looks quite snappy, and the book is impressive.
All for $49 (Can.)

Was it Randy Bush who said that they were ?

The version of the compiler that i got lists Aug. 92 as the date.

The p1 compiler is very much alive and well.  I am using the current
version and am very happy with it.  It is advertised in every Apple
Programmers and Developers Association (APDA) tools catalog.  You can order
it by simply calling APDA at 1-800-282-2732.

Unfortunately, it is much more expensive than the Metrowerks compilers,
and will cost you $345 for the compiler, $150 for the MPW environment, and
$40 for the MPW runtime libraries.

However, if the cost doesn't concern you, this is probably the Macintosh
compiler of choice.  Make sure to get the new version (5.0), which
is a major improvement over the previous versions.

Version 5.0 features a new code generator, and compilation speeds are
around 5000 LPM.  The resultant application speed is comparable to Apple's
MPW Pascal compiler.

Version 5.0 conforms to the current ISO draft standard for Modula-2, so it
has value constuctors, complex numbers, exceptions, and the ISO Standard
libraries.  It also supports the much simpler MODUS Standard libraries.

The compiler also does a good job of supporting the Macintosh environment.
There are definition modules for all of the Macintosh toolbox interface (as
of MPW 3.2.3), and the compiler's SYSTEM module has built in HANDLE,
EXTENDED, and STR255 types.  For toolbox calls, the compiler automatically
converts an ARRAY OF CHAR to a STR255 for you.  In addition, the compiler
has object oriented extensions similar to MPW Pascal and supports MacApp
3.0.1.  It also supports variables and module code size greater than 32k.
And of course, you can link your code with other MPW languages.

You also get a very nice debugger with the compiler.  In the future, they
plan to add support for the SADE debugger, and to support MPW's "32-bit
everything" option.

Yes, the problem is, that it's not allowed in ISO Modula-2.

As long as your favorite M2 compiler manufacturer doesn't implement
the ISO_M2 language changes, there is no help.

I don't know whether you got it, so here is my answer again:

location := SYSTEM.ADDADR(location, SIZE(location^))

Note, that SYSTEM.WORD is not ISO_M2, although an implementation is
allowed to extend ISO_M2's SYSTEM module.

                        ^ POINTER TO SYSTEM.LOC in ISO_M2.

I presume this was a question. I'd forgotten about p1. In the US, only
Metrowerks is in business that I know of. And you don't see ads here for the
p1 compiler. So it doesn't get much use in the States. This is not to imply
that the product is inferior or deficient in any way.

It's just that Modula2 is pretty much a dead language here in the US outside
of education.

Most DOS compilers should -- for one I know that the TopSpeed
compilers pack all data types into the smallest possible memory.  You
may select to override it here and there if you wish.  I haven't got
any experience with the Stony Brook compiler, but would expect nothing
less of it.  Could someone perhaps check to see what the FST compiler
does, I haven't got a copy at hand.

You can get p1 Modula-2 from APDA or direct from p1.  I just received V5.0b8
from him a couple of days ago.  This compiler supports MacApp! A version that
will work with Bedrock is also promised as are support for the PowerPC
architecture.  So, I think they will be selling Modula-2 compilers for some
time to come.

The current compiler, V4.3.2, is a MPW tool which closely follows PIM3.
Version 5.0 is an ISO compliant compiler now in final Beta.  Both have OO
extensions similiar to Apple's Object Pascal's OO extensions.

Well Guenter.  This statement is about as trustworthy as your self-serving

Yes, Oberon solves the problem with generic data type,
but in contrast to ISO M2 (which could help to solve all incompatiblities
and ambiguities), there are several different flavours of Oberon[-2].
There are not many ambiguities, but these have to be addressed; if possible
avoiding the overhead of international standardisation.

Here is an uncomplete summary of language reports and implementations.
There are other implementations, but I don't know what they are based on.
Please correct me if I'm wrong:

Oberon[-1],
  - PC/386 running under MS/DR-DOS Oberon System (ETH-Zuerich),
    current version V1.3 has 16 bit restrictions for array indices

Oberon-2 (Report 160 by H.P. Moessenboeck and N. Wirth, May 1991).
Oberon-2 Compilers based on the ETH-Report 160 (i.e. not based on OP2):

 - xTech Oberon-2 for PC/386 (xTech/Russia), no 16 bit restrictions,
   some language extensions.

 - Amiga Oberon (it's a nice Oberon-2 compiler with some minor extensions, such
   as the keyword STRUCT for RECORDS without type descriptor; I call this
   implementation "Froderon"; it comes with yet another library)

 - Andreas Borchert's Oberon-2 compiler (University Ulm/Germany)

NCS>(Stripped down and some VERY weird bugs) . Again as I said, both compilers
NCS>are excellent but, if given the choice, I would choose the Stoney Brook.

As long as the job gets done, I don't care!!  I must confess that I
mainly use TopSpeed for it's excellent debugging facilities...  There
are probably other compilers that produce smaller and/or faster code,
have better editors, etc... but TopSpeed VID Debugger has not met a
serious opponent yet... in the debugging department!
