Maybe I'm a little tired, but I don't understand what you mean.

I *DO* have my own error handling functions that produce nice little
messages on discovering something that might be wrong. The problems are bugs
that cannot be predicted and didn't occur during testing. I just had such a
bug that appeared for the first time after 2 years. I used this program at
least 5 times a day.
