Oh, boy! (I love this one.) There are two completely separate 
exception handling mechanisms going on here. If you use the C++ 
"catch" keyword, the only way you can catch operating-system
exception is to use catch (...), and you can get no information
about the exception. However, you can use (if you're using VC++, at
least) the __try/__catch keywords (note double underscores). There
is a series of Win32 functions you can call (drat, helpfile's at 
work...) Um, look up "ExecuteExceptionHandler" or "__try" in the 
Win32 SDK help files. The important thing here is the change in
keywords.
