Moving along with mc

[john o goyo]

Greetings, Gaius.

Having built mc without incident, that is, no changes needed, I am now 
translating the libraries.

One problem that has surfaced is the following: m2/gm2-libs/SYSTEM.mod 
will not translate because there is no SHIFT.

Parse implementation module
Pass 5: [implementation module] build code tree for all procedures and 
module initialisations
   Module SYSTEM               : ../gm2-libs/SYSTEM.mod
../gm2-libs/SYSTEM.mod:118: error: the symbol 'SHIFT' is not visible in 
this scope (or any other nested scope) (pos: 10)

Said module states that the compiler will inline SHIFT() if the argument 
fits into a word but mc does not recognise SHIFT().

Short of explicitly adding shifts inside SYSTEM.mod, is there something 
that can be done?

Sincerely,
john
