No it is not. If for instance you do some pointer related things and 
something goes wrong. It will not always trigger the Except procedure. I know 
this from first hand, happened very often to me. It then sometimes triggers 
GPFfaults or a fault in a win-module.This is very difficult to debug.

The way you are using Except is to general. By using your routine you would 
trigger to many faults to one routine. The basic concept for the try Except 
routine is that you for instance in calculation routines don't have to check 
for every line of code you use if an error occurs. By coding the entiry 
program in a try except block seems like you don't trust your program. Try 
using the try except block only on critical code in your program.
