/*************************************************************************
** ^FILE: syserr.c - error-message printing routines
**
** ^DESCRIPTION:
**    This fill implements various routines for printing diagnostic
**    messages on standard diagnostic output (stderr). The routines are:
**
**       usrerr()  --  print message and any system message(s) and return
**       syserr()  --  print message and any system message(s) and exit
**       eprintf() --  print to stderr and return
**
** ^HISTORY:
**    27/08/91     Earl Chew     <[e-mail]>
**    - Use ProgNameLen when accessing ProgName
**
**    01/02/91    Brad Appleton    <[e-mail]>
**       - Changed to use varargs/stdargs
**       - Added structured comment blocks
**       - Added eprintf()
**
