My original request for literature on software handling
has sparked enough interest (I believe) for me to post
the information I received in response.

Other than requests for summaries, I received two replies.
One (rather prominent) person offered to send me a pre-print of
an article of his.  I don't know what the proper netiquette is
in a case like this, but I don't want to inundate him with
requests for the article.  Perhaps when it is published,
he will be kind enough to post a short message to that effect.

The other response was from pys at lln-cs.UUCP and is a follows:
>As you post your article in comp.lang.c, I guess you mean
>"error handling in programming languages, and specially C".
>Perhaps the following article may be of interest to you:

>%A P.A. Lee
>%T Exception Handling in C Programs
>%J Software Practice and Experience
>%V 13
>%N 5
>%D MAY 1983
>%P 389-405
>%K c
>
>There is also a large amount of literature on exception handlimg in Ada, CLU,
>ML, etc - but I don't have much on that.

I did, indeed, mean "error handling in programming languages,
and especially C".  And I thank both Pierre-Yves Schobbens and
the other individual for taking the time to respond.
