Following Michael's observation, I took another look and a couple of
files I checked in the source code does indeed appear to have the
runtime exception added back into it.
I was going by the readme which has no mention of this in the licence
section.
The question now is: can we trust ACT to not suddenly remove the
exception in the same way as they did around a decade ago ? Comments ?
Simon.
