Hi,

	A vendor sent me a literature package including a reprint
	of the Release 1.0 newsletter. Here's a quote from it:

	"...features missing in C++ such as iterations (for handling
	collections), exception handling and robust transaction
	management."

	Can someone explain what exception handling is. I've heard this
	mentioned a number of times but do not really understand the
	concept as it applies to C++.

	Also, what's this "transaction management" stuff? Iterations?
	I'd call the people that publish the newsletter but I think
	I'll get more information in this forum.

Thanks,
