Appendix B
BOYAN Error Messages
- "BOYAN cannot fit in the available memory!" In this case, perhaps
you can make more room for BOYAN by rebooting without installing any
memory-resident programs. BOYAN has minimal memory requirements, so
this condition should be rare.
- "Com1 not ready! Use Com2?", etc. If BOYAN detects a problem while
initializing the serial port, it will give you the chance to specify
a different port before entering the program. Press N to go ahead
and try to use the port which is not ready, or press Y to use the
alternate port BOYAN offers.
- "Endless loop." Because of memory limitations, recursive nesting in
a macro or script cannot exceed approximately 20 levels of depth. If
it ever does, BOYAN reports this error message. In a script, this
message might indicate that you have used the \BL[..] (call block
recursively) command where you should have used the \GB[..] (Goto
Block) command.
- "No memory for DOS Shell!" This message probably means that you have
run BOYAN from within too small a DOS shell. For a discussion of
BOYAN's memory handling, please see section 3.5.
- "Overlay not found!", "BOYAN.HLP not found!", or "Couldn't load any
Action Module!" These errors will occur if the necessary BOYAN
auxiliary files are not located in the current DOS directory.
- "Serious module malfunction." This ominous message indicates that
the BAM file you chose is not a valid Action Module for BOYAN 5.
- "Unable to create BOYAN.FON!", "Unable to create BOYAN.MAC!", "Unable
to create BOYAN.CNF!" Probable causes of these messages are either
1) Your disk is write-protected, or 2) Your disk is full. The
required BOYAN files will fit on a single diskette with room to
spare.
- "Unknown variable %XY", "Unknown command \XY", "\XY command syntax
error", "\XY expects +,-,or *". The macro command compiler reports
these basic error conditions. Macro processing stops after such an
error.
