Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, March 26th, 2001-- Troi Automatisering today released Troi OSErrrs 2.0, a FileMaker Pro database which lists Operating System error codes for both Mac OS and Windows.
What is the OSErrrs database?
The Troi OSErrrs database lists over 4000 error codes and their explanation. All current Mac OS and Windows error codes known by Troi are listed in this database. Some of these errors might be returned by one of the Troi plug-ins (but of course not all!). Troi OSErrrs can be searched for a particular error code and also contains the name, category and a short description of the error, which makes it a useful tool for (database) developers.
Version 2.0 adds 735 Mac OS errors and 1659 Windows errors, making a total of 4300 error codes. We also cleaned up the interface. We now offer the...</div></div></span>

It's the successor to the Mac framework Raven. Like Raven Whisper is a modern framework that takes advantage of templates, multiple inheritance, STL, and exceptions. It's also designed around the notion of Design by Contract and includes numerous debugging tools.
Whisper 2.0 and a complete change history can be found at (http://www.halcyon.com/www3/jesjones/Whisper/Home.html). This is a big release with numerous bug fixes and changes, but there are three main changes:
1) Instead of one monolithic framework Whisper is now divided into nine framelets. This should make it a lot easier to pull in just what you want from the framework.
2) I've added a COM-like object model. This is similar to Microsoft's COM but plugins are required to be written in C++, exceptions are used instead of return codes, strings instead of GUID's, and reference counting is automated. This makes it possible to create very...</div></div></span>
