Appendix A
CP/M 3 Messages
Messages come from several different sources. CP/M 3 can display error messages
when the Basic Disk Operating System (BDOS) returns an error code. CP/M 3 can
also display messages when there are errors in command lines. Each utility supplied
with CP/M 3 has its own set of messages. The following table lists CP/M 3 messages
and utility messages. If you are running an application program, you might see
messages other than those listed here. Check the application program's documentation
for explanations of those messages.
The messages in Table A-1 might be preceded by ERROR:. Some of them might
also be preceded or followed by the filespec of the file causing the error condition.
Sometimes the input line is flagged with an up arrow T , to indicate the character
that caused the error. In this case,, the message, E r r o r a t t h e ', precedes the
appropriate error message. Some of the messages are followed by an additional line
preceded by INPUT:, OPTION:, or DRIVE: followed by the applicable error message.
