just to say thanks for the advice and that they have been implemented in the Modula-2 front end using the cpp TRY_CATCH_EXPR/THROW etc tree nodes. A few core ISO Modula-2 runtime exception libraries have also been implemented. Anyway here are some screen-casts of inter-language C++/M2 and M2/Python throwing and catching exceptions: http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/screencasts/gnu-modula-2/python/python-exception-gnu-modula2.mp4 http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/screencasts/gnu-modula-2/cpp/cpp-exception-gnu-modula2.mp4 [screen-casts are roughly 7MB each] regards, Gaius
