Can someone please explain the REM operator in Modula-2? Wirth has
it defined for REAL and LONGREAL types in his one-pass compiler source,
but I have not seen it mentioned in any Modula-2 books. Since
it is defined for floats, "remainder" doesn't make sense. The source
just calls a routine "FRem2" ("floating point REM operation with 2 operands")
which is not provided (I had to call floating point emulation library routines
to implement the other float operations). Anyone seen this before?
