Changed lines 3-4 from:
(* File based I/O for type OCTET *)
to:
(* I/O Module for Type BYTE *)
Changed lines 8-18 from:
(* The EBNF for the textual representation of values of type BYTE is as follows:
   byteValue : simpleFormat | cLiteralFormat | m2LiteralFormat | m2binaryLiteralFormat ;
   simpleFormat : ( sedecimalDigit sedecimalDigit )+ ;
    cLiteralFormat : '0x' simpleFormat ;
   m2LiteralFormat : '0' simpleFormat 'H' ;
    m2binaryLiteralFormat : ( bit bit bit bit bit bit bit bit )+ 'B' ;
    sedecimalDigit : '0' .. '9' | 'A' .. 'F' ;
    bit : '0' | '1' ; *)

PROCEDURE Read( infile : File; VAR n : BYTE );
(* Reads the textual representation of an BYTE value in simple format from input stream infile
to:
(* EBNF of the textual representation of BYTE values:
    byteValue : simpleFormat |

(* Reads the textual representation of a BYTE value from stream infile
Changed lines 21-30 from:
   - any remaining characters that are part of the numeral being read are removed from infile
   - the numeric value of the numeral string read is assigned to the variable passed in for n
   - the file status is set to any of allRight, outOfRange, wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput *)

PROCEDURE Write( outfile : File; n : BYTE );
(* Writes the textual representation of value n in simple format to output stream outfile *)

PROCEDURE WriteF( outfile : File; fmtStr : ARRAY OF CHAR; items : CARDINAL; VARIADIC v[items] OF n : BYTE );
(* Writes a formatted textual representation of one or more BYTE values to output stream outfile. The value
   of parameter items is calculated and inserted automatically. The output format is determined by fmtStr. *)
to:
   - any remaining characters that are part of the value being read are
     removed from infile
  - the textual representation of the value read is assigned to b
  - the file status is set to any of:
    success, outOfRange, wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of READ with a BYTE argument. *)

PROCEDURE Write ( outfile : File; b : BYTE );
(* Writes the value of BYTE b in simple format to stream outfile. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of WRITE with a BYTE argument.*)
