Hi all,
As some of you might already know, LDC has come dangerously

This is great news!
There's an often-repeated error in there. Borland cannot possibly
have patented Structured Exception Handling -- it was invented by
Microsoft, not by Borland. Of course anybody can claim a patent
*related* to SEH, or that uses SEH in some way, but that's not
the same thing as inventing it.
I don't know if Microsoft ever had any patents on SEH, but if
they did, they must have expired long ago.
