NAME ExceptionHandling AUTHOR Marcio Q. Marchini (mqm@edugraf.ufsc.br) FUNCTION Port to VWIN the ST-80-style exception handling by Bob Hinkle ST-VERSIONS V-Win PREREQUISITES None CONFLICTS None known DISTRIBUTION World VERSION 1.0 DATE 02 December 1994 SUMMARY ExceptionHandling This is in fact a port of the code found in st.cs.uiuc.edu at: pub/STV/st_v/v_286/ExceptionHandling/ExceptionHandling.st to Smalltalk/V Windows 2.0. The original author, Bob Hinkle, is aware of this port. The original version runs in Smalltalk/V 286. Follows the summary he put in his file: Adds the classes needed (and extends a few existing ones) to support signal handling in the same manner (and with the same interface) as the Smalltalk-80 classes Signal and Exception. In addition to providing this useful functionality, this package also illustrates some ways to interact with processes and contexts in V/286, and makes some extensions that facilitate that interaction for programmers. The code in this file is described in the article 'Taking Exception to Smalltalk,' written by myself and Ralph Johnson, which appeared in the November/December 1992 issue (Volume 2, Number 3) and the January 1993 issue (Volume 2, Number 4) of The Smalltalk Report. -- Bob Hinkle
