Henry, your comment did sink in, but it is merely a statement about your personal perception, and it is extremely arrogant of you to expect everyone to just throw their hands in the air and give up because *you* don't trust exception mechanisms. I do trust them, and they solve *real* problems that UNIX signals or error message/exit from low level routines don't even begin to touch. We can discuss the relative merits of these systems, but please accept that there are people on this net at least as clever as you. Your ad hominem assumptions that anyone who doesn't agree with you hasn't had it sink in or hasn't considered the issues or doesn't understand the real world will only limit your own ability to learn. -- Jim Balter, INTERACTIVE Systems (ima!jim)
