- This is a replacment "WHY" command. Compared to the standard AmigaDOS
- version it:
-
- 1> Gives more information.
-
- Fail code 20, error code 218; device (or volume) not mounted
-
- 3> Can be translated from what ever language it is in now, to German,
- French, Italian, Russian or even English.
-
- 2> Is faster since the old "why" actually just called "c:fault"
-
- 3> Gives useful information even if the C: directory is not on-line
-
- 4> Can be made "RESIDENT" since it does not call c:fault
-
- 5> Is innocent of the ->weird<- ways that BCPL programs work.
