   cardinalValue : simpleFormat | cLiteralFormat | m2LiteralFormat | universalFormat ;
to:
(* EBNF of the textual representation of CARDINAL values:
    cardinalValue : simpleFormat |

PROCEDURE Read( infile : File; VAR n : CARDINAL );
(* Reads the textual representation of a CARDINAL value in simple format from input stream infile
to:
   decimalDigit  : "0" .. "9" ;
   base16Digit : decimalDigit | "A" .. "F" ; *)

PROCEDURE Read ( infile : File; VAR n : CARDINAL );
(* Reads the textual representation of a CARDINAL value from stream infile
Changed lines 26-35 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 : CARDINAL );
(* 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 : CARDINAL );
(* Writes a formatted textual representation of one or more CARDINAL 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 n
  - the file status is set to any of:
    success, outOfRange, wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of READ with a CARDINAL argument.*)
