[DUG] What is the difference by using following two methods?

[Robert martin]

Hi

I didn't even know you could do the TObject thing.  However it King of 
makes sense.  If you use Error : Tobject you are treating the exception 
object passed in as a generic TObject (base class), so it would work but 
you wouldn't have access to TException methods, like e.message.
