I've tried every different whey I can think of for throwing and catching the errors but I just get "Abort!" printed to the screen. I've tried -fhandle-exceptions and -fexceptions and when I compile it tells me -fexceptions is on by default. Can anyone please help me out here...I've got a computing deadline tomorrow for my A level and it's 3:30 now, I'm going to bed but I'll be straight back at about 9:00 to try and sort it. Any clever people who know what's wrong please help! Thanks Andy Kilner
