Re: commit (head)

Hi Tomas,

I've taken great strides to remove all use of
exceptions from all of our builds. For whatever
reason, exceptions have caused us nothing but pain on
all of our platforms. Most of our RTF cut/paste
crashes were because the compiler wasn't catching
exceptions we were throwing, for instance.

If you can think of a way to redo this without using
exceptions, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Dom
