Comment :  Programming Language

***Volume I Section 4.2.1 titled Selection of Programming Languages; specifically refers to C and C++ as preferable/acceptable languages.  Although C does not have a "built in" exception handling system present in such languages as C++ and Java, exceptions in C are adequately handled with proper programming techniques.  Our internal standards and the VSS standards provide suitable guidance for implementation of robust exception handling in the C language.
