Random Coding

I have just created my finest program ever.
It is called "crash".
It is a single dialog with a big button marked "Crash" which makes itself crash.
It is also very useful.

Surely every programmer writes this at least once in their career? I know I have. Intentionally, I mean. Clearly programmers write it unintentionally all the time.

Not before now; mind you that does open a realm of curiosity for me asto how programmers would force a crash...

Didn't the BBC Micro have the "on error crash" statement?

There was definately an "On error" command, but my memory doesn't stretch far enough back to remember if there was a "crash" command too...
