You should at the very least be thinking about recovery as you write new code. You can't really build the entire foundation first, since you don't know in advance everything you will have to free up or undo in your recovery routine until you have written the main code that acquires or does it. Write notes to yourself that you need to release such-and-such a resource later on, if ending normally or abnormally. Resources include CSA/ECSA acquired, locks held, and pretty much anything for which your code must be authorized to obtain or to do. The Authorized System Services Reference books will rapidly become good friends. Bill Fairchild Rocket Software
