DEFINITION MODULE JPIStorage; 
(*====================================================================
    Version  : 1.0	Sat, Mar 4, 1989	C. Lins
    Compiler : JPI TopSpeed Modula-2
    Component: Tool - JPI Storage Management Utility for M2SCL

    INTRODUCTION
    This module provides facilities for allocation and deallocation of
	dynamic memory.  The routines are compatible with the JPI Storage
	module. Allocate differs from ALLOCATE in returning NIL
	if unsuccessful instead of HALTing. Deallocate does nothing if
	the given pointer is NIL, otherwise NIL is returned.

    REVISION HISTORY
    v1.00  04 Mar 1989  C. Lins:
        Initial implementation.

    UNDESIRED EVENTS and EXCEPTIONS
    * Overflow - Memory allocation failure, insufficient memory.

    INTERFACE DESIGN ISSUES
    * Interface compatibility with the module Storage.
