You have to get into this who deep psychological drama with the Java developers to try to figure out why this is checked and this is not checks. It is such an obnoxious PIA. Just stop the program and send my signal, or handle my condition as I wrote it... period and let me do my job. Checked Errors and Exceptions is one of the stupidest ideas ever created. Ruben
