This is the initial release of this utility. Its purpose is to allow you to quickly find out about what a particular error means. Simply type the error number in, and it will display (if available) the result code word, and a longer description. The result code is what you'd see in MacBugs, or would use in a program. The description is generally more meaningful.
The information is stored in the 'Errs' resource, and can be easily added to or modified. The error number is the resource number, and there is a ResEdit template for editing the fields. The result code field should not be any longer than what can fit in the window. However, the description can extend up to 255 characters, or 7 lines, whichever comes first.
The program is freeware and may be freely distributed and used, but may not be sold without my consent. This text file must be included in all distributions. Do not distribute the application with any modifications.
The information for the errors was gathered from Apple's SysErr.a file, Inside Macintosh VI, and System Errors 7.01 by "Dr. Pete" Corless.
