I didn't realize that I would spark such discussion! Anyway, thanks to all who responded. More responses would still be appreciated though. In my original posting, I wasn't very specific enough about what constituted an implementation. As such, some of the replies that I received were about tackling the problem of specifying the semantics of ERROR values. These replies were useful and interesting. I would like to propose a more specific request -- Given a set of error semantics, how does one effectively COMPILE the code? -- Pat Miller Professional Student miller@lll-crg.llnl.gov Amateur Politician "If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be running" Fight Apathy!
