 FN_BTOC()
 Broadcast to file server console
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
 
      fn_btoc( cMsg ) -> lSuccess
 
 Arguments

    <cMsg>, a character string representing the message you want
    to send to the file server console.  Can be no longer than
    60 characters.

 Returns

    Logical TRUE (.t.) if the call succeeds; FALSE (.f.) if it
    doesn't.  If it fails, you can check fn_error() for one of
    the following:

         252      Message queue is full
         254      I/O failure due to lack of "dynamic workspace",
                  whatever that means.  Isn't it enough to know
                  it just didn't work?

 Description

   Use this call to send a broadcast message to the file server
   console.  This sends to the default server's console.
   This would be useful for auditing, or for alerting the
   file server operator ("Load the backup tape!") or something
   of that nature.

   Good for letting network supervisors know your powerful
   Clipper app is running yet again.

 Examples

       fn_btoc( "Warning: Someone is using a Clipper app" )
