Weird. The javadoc I have in front of me says it extends object (well the nifty little diagram di-do up top does), but when I examine the class it extends RuntimeException. That would be why the compiler isn't catching it. I should have realized that from it's name.
If I'm right then nevermind - if I'm not you can enlighten me if you wish. I'm going to go check out the javadoc for RTE. -- Eddie Bush -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
