Most messages displayed at the console or in a DOS utility are strings of text displayed with a unique identifying code. Usually, this code consists of the following components:
The name of the module that displayed the message (for example, LOGIN or SERVER)
A product version or platform
A message number
For example, a typical message for LOGIN would appear as follows:
LOGIN-5.10-100: Access has been denied.
Some variation occurs in the format of certain groups of messages. LAN drivers, for example, include a platform designation instead of a version number:
NE2000-DOS-001: The LSL is not loaded.
Messages that have this unique identifying code are listed in this documentation by their source module in numerical order.
Messages that do not have a unique identifying code are listed alphabetically in the source module after the messages that are listed numerically.
The module version is not included in this document because it is updated each time a revision or a software patch is made to the module.
