Hi Paul



 PE> The only things defined are 0, EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.



 PE> You could give the official version and then say "in the dos world you

 PE> might want to do xyz instead".  BFN.  Paul.



 RM> What is Binkley, then? It returns all sorts of non-zero values for

 RM> non-error conditions.



 PE> Binkley uses MSDOS/OS2/whatever-specific errorlevel capabilities.



I know it's a bit off topic (cringe), but what is the significance

of return values in other operating systems?



Cheers
