6.2 STD:Globule Definition

A globule is a group of modules. A globule is defined by the STD:Globule Definition module. This is similar to the relationship between a C or Fortran function and its statements: a function is a group of statements, but the function itself is defined or declared by a statement.

All children of STD:Top File are globule definitions. STD:Top File specifies which globule will be executed first (by default, it is this globule is called `Main'. See section STD:Top File.

With the exception of STD:Top File and the globule definitions immediately below it, all modules must be children of some globule definition.

Fow now, a globule definition consists simply of the name of the globule. (As globules become more sophisticated, this may change dramatically).
