Actually, it was the subject line ("Pascal TRY-RECOVER-ESCAPE in C?")
that caught my eye.

Many, many years ago, Eugene presented an outstanding paper comparing
languages (C, SPL, Pascal/iX come to mind).  It was presented both to
the SCRUG conference and to the "main" North American conference.
However, I think only the SCRUG version had an extensive blow-by-blow
table comparing the languages.

Anyway, this paper showed how with a few clever #define's, he was
able to simulate Pascal's try/recover/escape.

Unfortunately, I lost my copy of that table :( :( .

I *think* this was in the 1988 SCRUG proceedings.

FWIW.
