There is an error because a "throw" gets you out of the method (function) ,
so "return" is never reached.
Also "Exception" is the mother of all exceptions. You throw that, you need
not specify that you are throwing an IOException. The compiler is smart
enough to figure that out.

Amar..

Subject: Re: Throwing Exceptions problem. (fwd)
I think I found it. I needed to throw new Exception(error); and get rid
of the return;s. Now I know where the error is! Weeeeee... have no
idea why there is an error, but I know where it is...
