Bjarne,

I just experienced Freudenshade (which I is German for experiencing joy at
someone else's misfortune) when I saw that your comments about a mistake in
your 3rd Edition.  As you surely know, we lesser lights in the programming
community make tons of mistakes.

I just got your new edition and have thoroughly enjoyed your "tour" of the
langage.  I have wanted to improve my use of exceptions but had been
discourage by Microsoft's incomplete (it seems to me) implementation of
user defined exceptions.  I've been restricting my coding to char *
exception types, which did the job to some extert.  Your treatment of the
topic has motivated to revist this issue.

Thanks for the toil you and your friends have put in over the past two
decades in bringing C++ to life.  To repeat what I just emailed to Andrew
Koenig, the fruits of your efforts have given me a lot of intellectual,
professional and recreational rewards over the years.

Best wishes,

Richard Muller
