Various Runtime Errors you may get when running OILERSoFT utilities
and there explanation. If you have any questions or need any help at
all just give my BBS a call at 702-629-0723:

Number Meaning                 What the problem 'Could' be
------ ----------------------- -------------------------------------------
    2  File not found          You are missing a file, or are specifying
                               a file in a configuration file that does
                               not exist.
    3  Path not found          You are specifying a path that does not
                               exist.
    4  Too many open files     Increase your FILES= statement in your 
                               CONFIG.SYS  I recommend about 30-50.
    5  File access denied      Either a file has been set to read only, a
                               directory is full, a RENAME tried to rename
                               to an existing file name or a file is not
                               open.
    6  Invalid File Handle     Your file handles have become corrupted.
  100  Disk Read Error         An attempt was made to read past the end of
                               a file. Most often something is corrupted
                               in the record pointers of a data file.
  101  Disk Write Error        Generally an indication of a full hard disk.
  103  File Not Open           File is closed when it shouldn't have been.
  104  File Not Open f/Input   Text file is closed when it shouldn't
                               have been.
  105  File Not Open f/Output  Text file is closed when it shouldn't
                               have been.
  106  Invalid Numeric Format  Generally this is only caused when reading a
                               configuration file, and the program is
                               expecting to find a numeric value and it
                               does not.
  
Errors 150 through 162 indicate various HARDWARE failures. If you're
getting these, then something may be wrong with your PC.

Number Meaning                 What the problem 'Could' be
------ ----------------------- -------------------------------------------
  152  Drive not ready         Controller problem or drive not spinning.
  154  CRC error in data       Sector on your drive may be damaged.
  156  Disk Seek error         Head problem or bad controller.
  157  Unknown media type      Computer cannot read the media type you
                               have. Is the drive formatted?
  158  Sector not found        Head problem or bad controller.
  159  Printer out of paper    Install more paper.
  160  Device write fault      Disk problem
  161  Device read fault       Disk problem
  162  Hardware Failure        Reported due to Dos sharing violations.
                               If you run Multi-Node make sure 'Share'
                               is being run. This can also be cured
                               sometimes by adding more FILES= to your
                               CONFIG.SYS file. Try 30-50.

Fatal errors generally indicate a problem that must be fixed before you 
can continue to run the utility.

Number Meaning                 What the problem 'Could' be
------ ----------------------- -------------------------------------------
  200  Division by zero        Should never happen, but if it does, report
                               it to me at OILERSoFT.
  201  Range Check Error       Array index out of range.
  202  Stack Overflow          NOT ENOUGH MEMORY for the stack!.
  203  Heap overflow error     Same as 202.
  204  Invalid Pointer Op.     Can be caused the same as 202.
  205  Floating point overflow Should not happen, unless a utility gets
                               a bad number from a data file.
  207  Invalid Floating point  
       Operation               Same as 205.
  209  Overlay File read error If you're not using EMS, then the .OVR
                               file is missing or is setting on a bad
                               sector on your harddisk. If you are
                               running EMS then you may have a bad
                               memory chip!


Again, if you have any problems with a utility do not hesitate to contact
