PE>>> Ok, I've taken your advice and moved all the error message defines

 PE>>> into other places (like file opens etc).  EXCEPT for
INTERNAL_ERROR(),

 PE>>> which I decided to stick in there as the most appropriate place.  I

 PE>>> also documented it in PDS0001-1994.  I've also updated the error.h

 PE>>> doco as you suggested.  I'll post the new versions of everything in

 PE>>> the next few messages.  Also, I decided to incorporate your
suggestion

 PE>>> of try() into the standard, except that I called it TRY() to avoid

 PE>>> having it interfere with C++.  BFN.



 PM>> Good to see. Now it wasn't that painful after all was it :-) Let me know

 PM>> how the TRY() works out.



 PE> Hang on, I didn't actually say I was going to use it!  Maybe I should

 PE> though. Not sure what to do there.



Since you've incorporated it into your standards, doesn't this mean you'll
be using it :-)



 PM>> I think you're going to have to rename your BBS to something more

 PM>> appropriate. How about 'PD Zealotry' :-)



 PE> Hey, it rhymes too!  Yeah, I think I'll update the logon screen at least.

 PE> Throw in a couple of cracks about communists too.  BFN.



And fascists :-)
