That's the basis for exceptions. Instead of following each function call with a chunk of code to handle the error conditions, you group all of th error-handling and let the "default path" thru the algorithm assume "the common case". Some people object to this. Other people love it. Some people never bother handling errors at all. -Stewart "Poor exception handling is extremely painful" Stremler -- KPLUG-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
