Messages come from several different sources. CP/M displays
|
|
error messages when there are errors in calls to the Basic Disk
|
|
Operating System (BDOS). CP/M also displays messages when there
|
|
are errors in command lines. Each utility supplied with CP/M has
|
|
its own set of messages. The following lists CP/M messages and
|
|
utility messages. One might see messages other than those listed
|
|
here if one is running an application program. Check the
|
|
application program's documentation for explanations of those
|
|
messages.
