Thank you Robert. My hide is relatively durable, so I accept any
criticism directed toward my exception example. I am trying to
include provocative examples in my JOOP column, so comments on
alternatives to my examples are quite welcome. In fact, we can
arrange to include some of them in the Letters section if the
editor of JOOP agrees on their potential virtue.

Glad to hear this. I am finding that many people are so enamoured
of the OOP features of the new standard they overlook some of the
more powerful extensions represented by such packages as
Ada.Exceptions. That was my reason for departing from strictly
OOP theme in this article and focusing on this incredibily useful
new feature of Ada 95.
As to the copyright issue, I have no need to make any claims. The
publisher may have some interest in this, but they would lose their
subscribers pretty quickly if they started nitpicking about people
actually using the code examples to learn and do real work.
