Hi Harald and Jerry,

I am reworking my way through, line by line wit F2018 in hand. Up to test
with offset 70, NAG looks to be right. I introduced an assignment with a
direct by ref function call, which doesn't finalise at the moment. Class
entities are yet to come. I'll report back early next week.

Thanks for all the help. I have (re)learned to read the standard very
carefully.

Best regards

Paul
