The link is an article by Jack Ganssle about using the assert() feature in C 
programming. I am not advocating we consider these in Forth but thought 
others might like to see what they do in another language to try and produce 
correct software.

Failure?cid=Newsletter+-+Whats+New+on+Embedded.com>

The Forth philosophy of "Crash Hard, Crash often" during development is I 
think much better but we also need to ensure that the code is inspected for 
the quieter systematic problems that can creep in.
