   These errors are caused be mistakes made in the input information
   given to PLINK86-Plus.  The program line number causing the error is
   displayed with two question mark characters inserted after the
   position where the error was detected.  If the question mark
   indicators appear at the beginning of the current line, check the end
   of the previous line for errors.

   Work File Errors

   When PLINK86-Plus runs out of memory it opens a temporary work file
   on disk named PLINK86.WRK to hold the description of the current
   program.  Work file errors occur during the processing of the work
   file.

   Input Object File Errors

   These errors occur when there is a problem with the current object
   file.  The usual occurrence is caused by a corrupted file.  The usual
   remedy is to recompile the offending object file.  If the error
   occurs because of a corrupted library file, obtain a new copy of the
   library from the appropriate source.

   These errors are caused when there is a problem creating or writing
   either to the target .EXE or .MAP file.  Typically, these errors are
   caused by the following conditions:

      . Disk is full
      . Directory is full
      . Disk is write-protected
      . Hardware problem with disk

   Intel Format Object File Errors

   These errors are caused by a problem with the format of the input
   object files.  The typical reason for this error is a corrupted file
   and so the general solution is to recompile.

   file format as defined by Intel Corporation.
