[Aldor-l] better don't type "hello" into that REPL!

[Ralf Hemmecke]

This is a bug in the documentation. There is an old library (axllib) 
which used to work for it. This library is still distributed with the 
compiler. So if you replace

#include "aldor"

by

#include "axllib"

the code compiles.
However, the documentation should be modified to say something like

-- Figure 2.3: Simple program 3
#include "aldor"

myfactorial(n: Integer): Integer == {
        p :=1;
        for i in 1..n repeat p := p * i;
        p
}

import from Integer, TextWriter, String, Character;
stdout << "factorial 10 = " << myfactorial 10 << newline
-- END Simple program 3

1) Note that I imported from TextWriter, String, and Character. Instead 
of doing this one could also add #include "aldorio" after #include "aldor".

2) In the aldor library the print command is called 'stdout'.

3) The category IntegerType already implements factorial by default. So 
one has to name the function differently, like myfactorial.
