There are several ones I seen around (articles in magazines) that mimic C++
exception by using macros and setjmp/longjmp.



The only magazine I can lay my hand on immediately that has and example is
the November 93 issue of C Users Journal. The source code is available (and
I write this verbatim since I don't know what it means!) is available with
anonymous ftp from ftp.bion.kth.se. Hopefully this is enough for you or
David Begley (hint! hint!) to find it.



This implementation is covered by the GNU copyleft, so you probably won't
want to use to use it directly. If you do find it, I'd like to see it
myself.
