DEFINE_EXC (InputExc, BaseExc) 	 // Invalid input data, e.g. from a file

DEFINE_EXC (IoExc, BaseExc) 	 // Input or output operation failed

DEFINE_EXC (MathExc,  BaseExc) 	 // Arithmetic exception; more specific
                 // exceptions derived from this class
                 // are defined in ExcMath.h

                 // specific exceptions derived from this
                 // class are defined in ExcErrno.h

                 // call to a method that is only partially
                 // or not at all implemented. A reminder

                 // to work.

DEFINE_EXC (NullExc, BaseExc) 	 // A pointer is inappropriately null.

// Stack-tracing support:
//
// setStackTracer(st)
//
//	installs a stack-tracing routine, st, which will be called from
//	class BaseExc's constructor every time an exception derived from
//	BaseExc is thrown.  The stack-tracing routine should return a
//	string that contains a printable representation of the program's
//	current call stack.  This string will be stored in the BaseExc
//	object; the string is accesible via the BaseExc::stackTrace()
//	method.
//
// setStackTracer(0)
//
//	removes the current stack tracing routine.  When an exception
//	derived from BaseExc is thrown, the stack trace string stored
//	in the BaseExc object will be empty.
//
// stackTracer()
//
//	returns a pointer to the current stack-tracing routine, or 0
//	if there is no current stack stack-tracing routine.
