Subject: [Rd] prototype for structured exception handling in R
Message-ID: <20010628102442.A7605@nokomis.stat.umn.edu>

One of the issues several of us have been discussing over the last few
months is how to incorporate a mechanism for structured exception
handling into R.  A prototype of one possible approach is available at

	http://www.stat.umn.edu/~luke/R/exceptions/simpcond.html

It is also available off the developer page,
http://developer.R-project.org.

The package that implements the prototype requires R 1.3.  (It is
mostly R code but needs a few hooks that have been added to R 1.3 to
allow experimenting with this sort of thing).

If you would find this sort of thing useful please give it a try and
let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.
