[comp.sys.mac] System Alert Codes

barry@primerd.prime.com (03/02/89)

After replacing my System file following the crash described in an
earlier posting, I noticed that the CompareForks utilty ran properly
under Multifinder, but, when run under Finder, caused a system alert
message with ID=01.

I couldn't find a list of system halt codes with my Apple
documentation.  Where can I find these?  I can't believe there isn't
a text file somewhere in the net that lists error numbers and their
associated reasons.  I've checked SUMEX.  There's a desk accessory
that will display error codes, but there doesn't appear to be a
plain text file.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.  Please respond by mail.

There is a book, Mac Insights (Microsoft Press 1986) which lists system and
non-system error IDs. It also has a more comprehensive troubleshooting
section than Apple's documentation.

If you can't find this book, e-mail me and I will send you the codes
(there are 200+ of them and I'm too lazy to type them just yet!)

Or look for the SystemErrorsDA which was (very) recently posted to comp.
binaries.mac.  It's just a scrolling list, DS errors first, then other
error codes in numeric order.  Handy...

There is also a PD (?) DA that lists 'em all.  It was just recently
posted to comp.binaries.mac. I think it's called System Errors.
