ErrorMsg    3.03    Lib to display localized error messages

	All  developpers know how boring it is to include in their programs
messages  telling the user what went wrong on an error.  This is a long and
tiresome  task  for the programmer, who would prefer to do more interesting
things.

	Moreover,   including   error  messages  in  the  executable  often
dramatically  increases the size of the files, and these messages are often
in  english  only.   So the idea of a shared library that would provide all
localized error messages the system could deliver was born.  This is exacly
what  errormsg.library  is.  It includes a function to simply get a pointer
on  the  message  to  display,  and  functions  to display it.  As of V2.0,
errormsg.library  has  a  query function which enables it to be called from
ARexx programs.

	In   errormsg.library,   error   messages   are   identified  by  a
system/subsystem  id  (to  be able to from know who the message is) and the
Code  itself.  Most of the functions provide tags to alter the behaviour of
the library.  Check the autodoc file for more information.
