MESSAGES
********
Program execution is halted immediatedly after messages with "Abort"
headers and some messages with "Error" headers. Execution continues
after messages with a "Warning" header, some messages with an "Error"
header, and most other messages.
The following is a brief explanation of program messages:
1. "Abort: Program code corrupted (CRC error)"
-------------------------------------------
Upon its execution, the program failed its internal verification
check, indicating corruption of the code.
2. "Abort: Needs 286 or compatible processor"
"Abort: Needs 386 or compatible processor"
"Abort: Needs 486 or compatible processor"
--------------------------------------------
286 program releases cannot be executed in 086/88 or most 186/188
machines; 386 program releases cannot be executed in 086/88, 186/
188, and 286 machines; 486 program releases cannot be executed in
086/88, 186/188, 286, and 386 machines.
3. "Abort: Requires DOS 2.00 or later version"
-------------------------------------------
The program requires a DOS version equal to or greater than MS-DOS 2
or compatible DOS system version.
4. "Abort: Unknown adapter/Bad CRT controller"
----------------------------------------------
The program was unable to determine the type of video adapter in use.
(Adapters recognized are the SVGA, VGA, MCGA, PGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and
and the various HERCULES cards.) Alternatively, the CRTC did not pass
a compatibility test.
5. "Resident installed at absolute address ????0h"
"Enter <CPX /?> for Help/Status"
-----------------------------------------------
CPx was successfully executed, and the resident was installed at the
indicated (hexadecimal) memory address.
6. "Error: DOS environment unchanged [code ?]"
-------------------------------------------
The program was unable to create/update the requested DOS environment
string. The following codes may be expected:
0: An unrecognized DOS version is being used.
1: Not enough room in the global environment block.
2: Null terminator for environment block not found.
3: Null size environment block.
Error 1 may be due to a small DOS environment block. Errors 2 and 3
indicate corruption of the environment block.
7. "Resident already loaded: Switch /AC ignored"
--------------------------------------------
The video acceleration compensation switch can be selected only prior
to the resident installation. Unload resident, specify switch AC, and
reinstall the resident if this compensation is needed.
8. "Error: Invalid switch Xx in command /Xx"
-----------------------------------------
An invalid switch designator (X) or parameter (x) was encountered.
Switch parsing continues after the next switch delimiter.
9. "Error: /HKxn 1st parameter must be A-Z or 0-9"
-----------------------------------------------
An invalid character was entered as the first parameter of the new
hotkey. Use any character between <A> to <Z> or <0> to <9>.
10. "Error: /HKxn 2nd parameter must be 4 through 15"
-------------------------------------------------
An invalid character was entered as the second parameter of the new
hotkey. Use a number between 4 and 15 to specify the corresponding
<Right shift>, <Left shift>, <Alt>, and <Ctrl> combination.
11. "Resident updated"
"Enter <CPX /?> for Status"
---------------------------
The relevant resident parameters of CPx were successfuly updated.
12. "Resident uninstalled"
----------------------
The CPx resident was successfuly deallocated from memory.
13. "Resident not yet installed"
----------------------------
Resident uninstalling was requested but the program has not yet been
installed.
14. "Cannot uninstall: Interrupt(s) ??h in use"
-------------------------------------------
The indicated interrupt vectors are still in use by another resident
loaded after CPx was loaded. All of the interrupts still in use are
listed. The uninstall request is not honored as this would hang the
machine.
15. "Warning: Memory block not released [DOS error ??h]"
----------------------------------------------------
DOS did not deallocate the conventional memory block allocated to the
resident at the time of its installation. One of two error codes may
be expected:
7 - Memory blocks above the DOS area trashed.
9 - Invalid block request.
These errors indicate a corruption of the memory control chain of the
operating system. Reboot processor as soon as possible.
16. "Abort: An active XMS manager was not detected"
-----------------------------------------------
The presence of a driver supporting the Extended Memory Specification
(XMS) version 2.0+ could not be validated, and the requested UMB load
via switch LH defaulted to conventional memory installation.
17. "Error: UMB allocation failure [XMS code ??h]"
----------------------------------------------
The XMM did not allocate the requested UMB. One of the following XMS
error codes may be expected:
80h - Function is not implemented.
8Eh - General driver error occurred.
8Fh - Unrecoverable driver error occurred.
B0h - Smaller UMB is available.
B1h - No UMBs are available.
B2h - UMB segment number is invalid.
18. "Error: UMB allocation failure [DOS code ??h]"
----------------------------------------------
DOS 5+ did not allocate the requested UMB. One of the following DOS
error codes may be expected:
7 - Memory blocks above the DOS area trashed.
8 - Not enough memory.
Error 7 indicates a corruption of the memory control chain of the
operating system (reboot processor as soon as possible). Error 8
indicates that no UMBs are available. Install the program in low
memory.
19. "Abort: Allocation mode not restored [DOS code ??h]"
----------------------------------------------------
MS-DOS 5+ did not restore its default memory allocation strategy
after the program modified it for UMB allocation; the error code
may be 01h (invalid function). Reboot the processor immediately.
20. "Error: UMB release failure [XMS error ??h]"
--------------------------------------------
The XMM did not free the allocated UMB. (See above for XMS error
codes 8Eh, 8Fh, and B2h.)
21. "Error: UMB release failure [DOS error ??h]"
--------------------------------------------
MS-DOS 5+ did not free the allocated UMB. (See above for DOS error
codes 07h and 09h.)
22. "Could not allocate above requested UMB address"
------------------------------------------------
A free upper-memory block was not available above the lower high-
memory address specified by switch /Hn. Resident was installed at
a lower UMB whose value is displayed in the installation message.
23. "Not enough memory to restore screen"
"Only ???? bytes are available..."
"Continue? [Yn] "
--------------------------------------------
If switch /HK? /?H, or /? were selected, CPx attempts to allocate an
additional 8288 bytes for video processing. The message is displayed
if enough RAM were not available to preserve screen contents. Press
<Y> or <Enter> to proceed with the display or <N> or <Esc> to cancel
the execution.
NOTE: If the mouse driver were active, and <Y> is pressed, the mouse
status will not be restored at the exit from CPx.
24. "User BREAK"
------------
The Ctrl-Break key was pressed during an interactive screen display.
25. "Hardware test successful"
--------------------------
The CRT controller of the video adapter is capable of processing the
16-bit size commands issued by CPx.
26. "This CRT controller cannot handle 16-bit port commands;"
"it needs an 8-bit command version of CPx (see CPX.DOC)."
---------------------------------------------------------
The CRT controller of the video adapter can only process sequential,
8-bit commands. A special version of the program, which is available
at no additional cost, is required.
