     [According to [350:7-8] the "Argument(s) paragraphs specify requirements on the actual arguments."

     Since they don't apply to dummy arguments, referring to the "corresponding actual argument" is incor-
11
     rect. Editor: "The corresponding actual argument"  "If DIM appears it" at the following places:]

     [The condition "without undue overflow or underflow" is a requirement here, but is a recommendation

     mendation at the other (they are different because NORM2 takes arrays of arbitrary size). Editor: at
