That's my fault - I assumed that if an error was caught, that
sys.last_traceback would be available, but it's only defined once an uncaught
error happens.

Well, that's the point of the exe: to compile the necessary parts into
an inscrutable binary. ;-)
'daborun.py' is only used to generate the runtime exe under windows.
It's not part of Dabo itself.

Web Update is unfortunately broken in 0.9.2; we fixed it shortly after
the release, but it's a Catch-22: you can't update until you install the
update.

I really wish I had more time to work on these things, but as usual
I've been very busy with work. I'll add it to my to-do list and with any luck
I'll get to it over the holidays.

The binary package was intended as a convenient way to try out Dabo
without having to install a bunch of stuff on your machine. It was never
intended to be the permanent development system; if you tried Dabo and liked
it, it is strongly recommended that you make sure you have Python, wxPython,
reportlab, and whatever database adapters you need installed on your machine,
and then you can install the current source release of Dabo.
