                   01     Out of resource. Example: Out of space
                          or out of channals.
                   02     Temporary situation. Something expected to
                          disappear with time. This is not an error
                          condition, but a temporary situation such
                          as a locked file.
                   03     Authorization: Permission problem
                   04     Internal: Internal error in system software.
                          Probable problem with system software, rather
                          than a user a system failure.
                   05     Hardware failure: A serious problem not
                          the fault of user program.
                   06     System failure. Serious failure of system
                          software not the fault of the user, such as
                          missing or incorrect configuration files.
                   07     Application program error: Inconsistent
                          requests.
                   08     Not found: File or item not found.
                   09     Bad format: File or value invalid format or
                          type; unsuitable.
                   0A     Locked: Locked file or item
                   0B     Media error: Media failure such as incorrent
                          disk, CRC error, defective media.
                   0C     Already exists: Duplication error, such as
                          declaring a macinename that already exists.
                   0D     Unknown
      Suggested Action:
                   01     Retry. Retry a few times, then prompt the user
                          if the program should be terminated.
                   02     Delayed retry: Retry several time, with delay
                          in between, then prompt the user if the program
                          should be terminated.
                   03     Prompt user. Ask the user to correct the infor-
                          mation.
                   04     Abort after cleanup. DOS is in a orderly state,
                          so it's safe to cleanup, before termination.
                   05     Immediate abort. Stop application immidiately,
                          without clearing regsiters or anything else.
                          Don't write to or close any files, just abort
                          the program (this is serious)!
                   06     Ignore
                   07     Retry after user intervention. Ask the user to
                          perform some action, such as inserting a disk
                          etc. Then retry the operation.
