Issue 50 of The Delphi Magazine, www.itecuk.com, has an article
('Exceptional Stack Tracing') that details how to get a stack trace for
exceptions and access violations. I have not tried it yet, but plan to. I
have spotted other third party components/code that claim to do this also
but have never managed to get sensible results out of them. Its either me
or them.

This was a request in the delphi wish list compiled by this group a few
months
ago... It's also a feature (ANSI?) of some C/C++ compilers....
Sys:/> Mount HighHorse:
the list was compiled just prior to D5 being released so there was no
oportunity for borland to implement any of the requests but many of them
seem
so obvious and were voted for by many people that it seems reasonable to
expect that a few would have been picked up by Borland... That said maybe if
the list is suitably formatted and enough expression of interest by
developers is
made then those popular items would be adopted...
Highhorse:/> Dismount HighHorse:
