Hi Martin,

thanks for this report - I don't know why this change crept in.  I've
now corrected the gm2 definition in the CVS:

   * fixed definition of DeviceTablePtrValue to comply with
     the ISO standard, bug reported by Martin Kalbfuß.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/ClientSocket.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/IOChan.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/IOLink.def:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/IOLink.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/ProgramArgs.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/RTgen.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/RndFile.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/SeqFile.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/SimpleCipher.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/StreamFile.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
   * gm2/gm2-libs-iso/TermFile.mod:  changed to comply with
     the correct ISO definition.
