My apologies Keith. You are correct that "Boom" is overkill and
inappropriate but all I've done is include 'Palm.h' and 'stdexcept'.
Christopher's Teenee is packaged with his own 'stdexcept' but I was just
tinkering with using the MSL header instead. I'm a conformist at heart and
figured that since it shipped with the compiler, it was sanctioned. Being a
conformist, it goes against my grain to modify the headers that shipped with
it as well.
<soapbox directed@metrowerks !keith>
Call me old fashion (I'm only 30!) but I believe a tool vendor should ship a
product with appropriate peripherals and should expect customers to use
those peripherals. I once saw my kid brother hammering a screw into a
board. He explained why saying the screws were in the drawer next to the
hammer. Don't ship the MSL and the PalmOS headers in the same package if
they shouldn't be used together. You end up with inflammatory idiots like
myself trying to shoot themselves in the foot.

Granted. We don't need to rehash code bloat generated by inappropriate use
of C++.
I humbly back down now after removing the offending MSL references from my
code and project.
