[comp.lang.modula2] changing the value of the loop control variable.

MFELDMAN@GWUVM.BITNET (Michael Feldman) (02/28/89)

PIM 3rd ed. says (p. 158, parag. 9.8)
   "Its value SHOULD NOT be changed by the statement sequence."
   (my emphasis)

I take it that Wirth is leaving it up to the programmer to write a "safe"
loop. AArrggghhhh!!!!!
