Thanks everyone for the explanation, and the rather convoluted discussion of the type system, which I don't really understand. I'd just like to add that this error bit me in a real program, and it would be nice if OCaml detected this common case and warned about it: if cond then ( ... raise Exn ) next_stmt <-- catastrophic failure, because this statement is silently ignored Rich. -- Richard Jones. http://www.annexia.org/ http://www.j-london.com/ >>> http://www.team-notepad.com/ - collaboration tools for teams <<< Merjis Ltd. http://www.merjis.com/ - improving website return on investment http://youunlimited.co.uk/ - Personal improvement courses
