I was thinking of asking this question about this mystery of life since I first read Bertrand Meyer's book. But then I see in his 2.2 overview: > The violation of a precondition triggers an exception >in the caller, not the called routine (in accordance with >the ``programming as contracting'' philosophy). Certainly seems much cleaner. If the guy who calls me does get the parameters right, why should I suffer and try to clean up? -- Erland Sommarskog - ENEA Data, Stockholm - sommar@enea.se "Apparently being a gnu adept and having a good sense of humor are disjunct qualities." - Mart van Stiphout
