Is there a (simple) way of trapping runtime I/O errors in GPC, like the {$I-} compiler directive in Borland Pascal? [...]

Not yet, but it is being worked on. (Interested to take part?;-)

Agh, does that mean I have to pull my finger out?

Of course not. I was referring to your work, and I simply wanted to attract co-workers to your project. (-;

I think I've got the compiler side working in an older beta, but the rtl has to be modified to support it.

Problem is, {$I-} could be even longer yet because I'm changing jobs (cities too) soon and I don't know how long I'll be off the net (going off shortly before 17 Nov)

I should at least be able to get some patches relative to the latest beta (I think I still have to download it) before then.

This would mean that it would be in the next beta and in gpc-2.1 - which would be a good thing.

Thanks in advance,
