- _✓S_✓a_✓l_✓e_✓r_✓t sends a warning or error message to the alert pipe,
- U:\PIPE\ALERT. The argument _✓m_✓s_✓g is a 0 terminated ASCII
- string containing the message to be sent. The message
- should not contain any carriage return, line feed, or
- escape characters; it should be a simple one line warning
- or error message which is to be brought to the user's
- attention. The _✓S_✓a_✓l_✓e_✓r_✓t call takes whatever steps are nec-
- essary to format this string and send it to the user; the
- exact form of the output (or even whether the output is
- seen at all) depends on the system configuration.

- The message is not guaranteed to be delivered to the user
- (users may turn alert messages off). Therefore, absolutely
- critical or fatal errors should be delivered to the user
- in a different fashion.
-
-
- Messages longer than 90 characters may be truncated; also,
- if any word in the message is longer than 30 characters it
- may not be printed in full (a word is any sequence of non-
- blank characters).
