Sure, because it's the standard/traditional exception handling interface that's always been present in OpenStep/GNUstep and is available across all platforms. If you want maximally portable code, you write it using NS_HANDLER, but as long as you are sticking to newer environments you don't need it. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
