Madshi, author of MadExcept, only plugs his product in response to 
relevant questions on the newsgroups. The maker of EurekaLog just sends 
unsolicited announcements, which leaves me with a bad impression. Madshi 
also posts responses to the newsgroups _without_ plugging his product; 
he strikes me a nice and helpful person, and I'd be happy to do business 
with him.

You don't get the source code for EurekaLog unless you get the 
enterprise edition, which costs three times more than it would cost to 
get MadExcept. As a policy, I don't put anything into my programs that I 
don't have the source for. (It doesn't need to be "open source"; I just 
need to be able to recompile it or at least step through it with the 
debugger.)

In addition to exceptions, MadExcept can detect hung programs.

The only bad thing I have to say about MadExcept is that it costs more 
than I'm willing to pay for it. I would use it myself, but since what I 
usually need is just the basic stack-tracing and exception-handling 
capabilities, it's hard to pass up the JCL's free JclDebug. MadExcept's 
stack traces can be a little more accurate than JclDebug's.
