Given that we now have facilities to handle the most important programming exceptions in the Fortran market niche, should we now look rather at general event driven programming support. This would of course include more generalised exceptions which would be a specific class of event, but event driven programming covers more than merely program exceptions and this is an area of growing importance in all programming scientific and engineering applications included. Just a thought! -- Dr.J.L.Schonfelder Director, Computing Services Department The University of Liverpool Liverpool, UK, L69 7ZF Phone: 44(151)794 3716 Fax: 44(151)794 3759
