Since any program can call SysFailMgr to give you a fatal error message and number of the program's choice, no comprehensive list of error codes & meanings exists. HOWEVER--it's almost always the case that the error code has been returned by a toolbox routine or by ProDOS or GS/OS. In error $xxyy, the xx indicates the toolset returning the error (common ones are 00 for ProDOS or GS/OS, 01 for the tool locator, 02 for the memory manager, 06 for event manager, 11 for the Loader). The Toolbox Reference Manuals (volumes I and II) from Addison/Wesley document errors for each toolset except for the Loader; the Loader is documented in the ProDOS 16 Reference and in the GS/OS reference. Here are the errors you're likely to see from ProDOS|GS/OS, the Loader, the Memory Manager, and the Event Manager: $0027 = I/O error $002B = write-protected $002F = no disk in drive $0045 = volume not found $0046 = file not found $0048 = volume full $0049 = volume directory full $0201 = out of memory $0681 and $0682 = event queue damaged (often means that some application or desk accessory is accidentally tromping on memory that doesn't belong to it; also mysteriously happens sometimes when booting some third-party hard drives--as far as I know nobody's figured that one out yet) $1101 = segment not found $1102 = incompatible OMF version (probably means get a newer system disk) $1107 = file version error $1109 = segnum out of sequence $110A = illegal load record found $110B = load segment is foreign (Most loader errors probably mean your copy of the program you're trying to run is messed up.) > Bruce (KAHN@ADAM.DG.COM or KAHN@VOID.CEO.DG.COM) --David A.
