VOID
dosError(ULONG ulMessage, PSZ pszAction) {
    UCHAR szErrorMsg[MAX_MSG_LENGTH];
    ULONG ulActMsgLength;

    DosGetMessage(NULL,
		  0,
		  szErrorMsg,
		  MAX_MSG_LENGTH - 1,
		  ulMessage,
		  "OSO001.MSG",
		  &ulActMsgLength);
    fprintf(stderr, "%s: \n%s\n%s\n",
	    pszProgName, szErrorMsg, pszAction);
    exit(1);
}

I dont know, wether this will work as 16 Bit.
