[DUG] Related try..finally question

[Alister Christie]

I have a lot of monolithic procedures and functions - so large that they 
are just scary.  yes this is bad, yes I'm refactoring them (as in Martin 
Fowler's book - which is great by the way) - but I'm digressing somewhat 
from the original question.
So my answer is no there is not a 1:1 relationship in my code.
 From my current readings on OO design and implementation small methods 
(with meaningful names) are they way to go, and is something that I will 
work towards (over the next few years), but even so there will not in 
general be a 1:1 correspondence of methods to try finally blocks.

I hope this reply is not to rambling - am listening to the latest delphi 
hour <http://bdn.borland.com/article/33612> while typing and 
multitasking is not my strong point (I think it's a guy thing in general)
