What will your customers say about a program that crashes with a core dump ? I think most of them prefer a program where they get a message "Sorry, internal error. Contact ...." or (in the case the error is not severe) a program that makes another try. It think it's always better to think a few minutes about bad errors rather than hoping that it will never happen... Send a message and then shutdown the program (closing files, releasing OS- resources,...). Or do you like core dumps so much ? --- Walter Sommergruber email: wsog@site71.ping.at
