Does GCC/DJGPP support C++ exceptions; that is to say, the throw statement
and the try...catch block? If so, in what ways if any does it deviate from
the standard?

(I searched the FAQ from contents to index using Internet Exploder's "Find
(on this page)..." under such items as "exception", "throw", and "C++" and
failed to find one single reference to C++ exceptions in the entire
monolithic document. (Yes, I used the real FAQ, the one that has a mass one
fourth the size of our moon, rather then the so-called "mini" FAQ
posted in the newsgroup.) There was plenty on C++, there was plenty about
exceptions (but all CPU rather than C++ exceptions), and only one of the
word "throw", in the very first question, "How to capture all the error
messages GCC throws at me". So don't tell me to read the bloody FAQ! :-))
