This is not really true. The run-time errors you are referring to are
something specific to programs made with the borland turbo languages.
Maybe some other languages support them too. I've programmed a lot
on IBM PC's and I know they do crash a lot without telling you anything
at all. My programs were even written in Turbo Pascal. The errors
trapped by Turbo Pascal are only some easy detectable errors.
