RE: Debug Mode.

[Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If recompiling is an option when you want the debug information you can use
Conditional Compilation to include/exclude certain statements.  Has the
benefit of avoiding the run-time check when not debugging.  A negative is
the need to recompile a debug version.  You also have to be very careful
that the program runs the same with and without the debug compile
statements.
