My apologies if this has been dealt with exhaustively on this newsgroup -- I'm a new subscriber. I want to bypass Common Lisp's normal error handling. For example, if a divide by zero error occurs within my code, I would like to invoke my own error handler, and call a throw. Currently, I don't know if there's a way to prevent the debugger from being invoked. Is this possible in normal Common Lisp? How about Lucid? It would seem to me that my application is not unique, and many people producing production quality lisp systems would also want a more flexible error handling system.
