Subject: matherr
Status: O

Has anyone done any work to support a limited form of signal trapping -
particularly for matherr?  

I'd like to get some CPU in my app, to report the context of the math 
exception before go32 terminates:  I don't need to restart from the 
exception though. 

Anyone worked on something that's similar?  (Catching ^C, whatever.)

Near as I can tell so far, the most closely related feature in go32 today 
is the ability to handle mouse/keyboard interrupts for the latest
graphics stuff .. but, though I haven't looked at that carefully (I just 
downloaded it and installed it over the last couple days), it appears that 
the app just sees an event queue there ..  whereas the graphics driver 
fields the callbacks (as opposed to callbacks directly into the 32-bit 
app/task).  Sooo, it doesn't seem to be that much help.

Anyway, any tips would be apprecaited.  

Also, please excuse me if this a faq - I just joined in...

P.S.  Regarding -

  Is there a substantial difference?  I downloaded from sun.soe last
  Sunday or so.
