                     29: returning of  structures by functions.   COHERENT, however, lifts
                     30: these restrictions.   It allows one  structure to be  assigned to
                     31: another, provided  the two structures  are of the  same type.  It
                     32: also allows structures to be passed by and returned by functions.
