<P>Once you've done that, you should try using FunnelWeb
on a small project to get used to it. Then, once you're

<P>If you want to see a real-world example, there is a
complete package written using FunnelWeb at:

<P>The package provides Ada-like exceptions for the

demonstrates how FunnelWeb can be used to assist in the
documentation of tricky code.
