UPDATE INFO:

* StdErr 3.2 fixes something truly stupid in 3.1 in which it
would cause everyone's programs to have a version string of
'StdErr 3.1'.. which would pretty well defeat the whole
purpose behind having a version string in the first place.
I do not have any idea what I was thinking.  Otherwise, it's
exactly the same thing as 3.1.

* StdErr 3.1 fixes some potential bugs, and has a nicer
internal error-handling scheme (gives you a better idea what
has gone wrong internally than before).

It also has a $VER: string, so I'll finally be doing
something slightly closer to standards <grin>.

STANDARD INFO:

StdErr is an Amiga E module providing a flexible, durable,
downright NICE standard error port, in an object oriented
fashion (sorta).

You don't have to worry about global variables or arcane
brew ha ha or whatever.. in fact, all the stderr commands
are prefaced with 'err_', and otherwise look as closely like
the standard Amiga E functions as possible (eg, err_WriteF
is the function to write something to the stderr port).

Further, there's nothing to initialize!  StdErr handles it
for you.  The only thing YOU have to do is make sure you
call 'err_Dispose()' at the end of your program.

Be sure to either read the documentation or examine the
example source code.

FEATURES:

Standard error port (รก la CONSOLE:).
Error reports directed to a file (will automatically create
  a header before the error, with date and time of error,
  [err_New]).
Automatic Fault/IoErr() handling (no more mysteries for your
  users).
Supports Workbench (err_Dispose is the key to this.. tells
  the user how to close the window if it was opened).
Direction of StdErr message may be changed at any time.
Preface for Fault handling may be changed at any time (via
  err_Name)
Works with Amiga E 3.0b (for earlier versions of Amiga E,
  you'll need to find an earlier version of StdErr to use as
  a pmodule with EPP.. which isn't quite as slick as this
  version).

THINGS TO DO:

Perhaps, when using a Workbench, open a window that can be
closed by the gadget instead of having to press RETURN.

BUGS:

None noticed.

Should work on all normal Amiga computers.
