How can I show a Runtime error?

Aha, it's OK I searched the modules and found TBlitzException which al the other are derived from and so made this code:

Try
   (New TApplication).Run
Catch  o:Object
   If TBlitzException(o) Then Notify TBlitzException(o).ToString()
End Try

This works well. In debug mode I get a proper error message but in non-debug mode it just says "unhandled memory exception" which is a bit of a shame, but better than just bombing.

This is good because I'm having an issue with OpenGL just bombing on another PC and so now I can wrap all the code with this general catch all, compile a debug version, and then see what's going on (I hope).

[edit]OK, tried this line after the notify line:

If TNullObjectException(o) Then Notify("Null Object")

In debug mode, the second notify is shown, but not in non-debug mode. I assume that debug mode must basically be able to show more detailed error messages due to the way the .exe is compiled - oh well.
