Some time ago I wrote a simple Pascal-like language that ran on an
equally simple VM--all implemented in Delphi. I'd like to update the
language to use exception handling constructs such as try-except-end and
try-finally-end.


Given that the implementing language (Delphi, in this case) has SEH, can
I leverage this fact to add exception support in my Pascal-like
language? If so, where might I learn how to do this?


You may have guessed that I'm not a CS graduate, so there are plenty of
holes in my understanding of these matters.


Any suggestions appreciated.


Cheers,
Mark.
