Source Files

Modula-2 sources are stored as ordinary text files under UNIX. The suffix of the filename depends on the module type: ``.d'' is to be used for definition modules and ``.m2'' is to be taken for implementation and main modules. The base name of the file should be identical to the module name. In case of long module names it is recommended to take the first 11 characters of the module name.^2.1Example: The implementation module GraphicalAttributes should be stored in a file named GraphicalAt.m2.
