    In the first release of the A/UX Toolbox, there is no special provision
for handling exceptions.  However, there are two ways to run mac applications
from A/UX.  One way is to use the "launch" program to run a mac binary.
The other way is to recompile the application under A/UX and execute it as
a UNIX binary.  In the latter case, you can use the normal UNIX mechanisms
for dealing with exceptions.  However, to use this method, the application
really has to be written in C.
    Altering the exception vectors in low memory will have no effect under
the A/UX Toolbox.  If we find that it is common for developers to want to
do this, we could add support for exception vectors to the second release
of the A/UX Toolbox.

    By the way, I should add my usual warning that you shouldn't expect
off-the-shelf mac applications to run under A/UX.  It is usually a fairly
simple job for a developer to make an application A/UX-friendly, but most
existing applications will faihad
