I would like to get some more information on exception handling
in Pascal. We are currently investigating different exception handling
facilities; hopefully being able to pick one "method" and
add it to our compiler.

The following questions are of most interest:

 + What is the current status on exception handling in (extended) Pascal
   standards (what about future directions).

 + What are the implementations of exception handling in commercially
   available Pascal compilers.

 + Implementation issues (specificly on the ANSI X3J9/84-151 proposal).

And why not ask the question: Are exception handlers considered harmfull ? :-)

Thanks for your help
