Yes Bill, I know that. But the point is that I would like to catch it as a
base class object since in my original app. I don't know exactly what kind
of particular exception will be thrown, that's why I've created my own
hierarchy of exception classes. I think that this is one of the most
important task accomplished by exception mechanism, at least it saves me
quite a lot of coding.

At the moment I don't remember where, but I've read that the djgpp
implementation of exceptions is under development and maybe this feature is
still missing. If so I have to wait before switch from Borland to djgpp.

Thanks for your reply, anyway.
