Hi,

If I run this code in the IDE:

runtimeerror("testing")

in debug mode, a dialog appears saying unhandled exception: 2 but in non-debug mode it just shows 2 on the IDE output window.

However, when running the actual .exes generated by the IDE, no dialog appears at all.

So how can I make a simple windows style error dialog show for when errors occur and I haven't yet initialised the graphics. Do I need a simple windows libary call as nothing seems to do it in BMax?

Thanks in advance.
