Initializing help system before first use

Module vs. package

Identical functionality and behavior to what is provided by our module myconstants may be obtained from a package. The implementation of package myconstants (see Mosel User Guide, chapter 'Packages' for further explanation) takes less than 10 lines of Mosel code, making our C implementation appear unnecessarily complicated for the definition of a few constants:

package myconstants

 public declarations
  MYCST_BIGM = 10000          ! A large integer value
  MYCST_TOL = 0.00001         ! A tolerance value
  MYCST_LINE = "----"         ! String constant
  MYCST_FLAG = true           ! Constant with value true
  MYCST_NOFLAG = false        ! Constant with value false
 end-declarations

end-package
