+ OSSP ex - Exception Handling Library
+ Version 0.1.0 (26-Jan-2002)
+
+ ABSTRACT
+
+ The OSSP ex library is a small ISO-C++ style exception handling
+ library for use in the ISO-C language. It allows you to use the
+ paradigm of throwing and catching exceptions in order to reduce the
+ amount of error handling code in without making your program less
+ robust. This is achieved by directly transferring exceptional return
+ codes (and the program control flow) from the location where it was
+ raised (throw point) to the location where it is handled (catch point)
+ - usually from a deeply nested sub-routine to a parent routine. All
+ intermediate routines no longer have to make sure that the exceptional
+ return codes from sub-routines are correctly passed back to the
+ parent.
