I saw a reference to a "finally" clause recently on this
group. I am assuming that it functions as the last executed
code from a function whether the exit is due to normal
control flow or to an exception.

Can anyone point me to more details describing this? I have
not been able to find it in the materials I have onhand.

Many Thanks,

Allan

Standard C++ does _not_ have a "finally" clause.

(Some other languages, such as Java and Modula-III(?) do,
so if you're still looking for more information, try
comp.lang.java.* or a the Java reference manual.)
