NAME
     messages.txt - Screen Displays From Programs


Synopsis
     Help message From  command  line  shows  the  state  of  the
     resident concache.exe.

     Also at startup, concache.exe, ccdisk.exe, and  floppies.exe
     produce  various  messages. Most of them are too obvious but
     others may be confusing.  This file tries to add some  words
     to those potentially might be misinterpreted messages.


Help Messages
     It can be seen if concache.exe is already loaded or not yet.

     dos concurrent disk cache not loaded
          Concache.exe is not yet loaded.

     Otherwise, when combined with help  option,  following  mes-
     sages are shown.

  Option hc
     Shows configuration of concache.exe.

     concache.exe loaded at %x
          Load address of concache.exe is segment '%s'.

     concurrency = %d devices
          Number of devices that can run concurrent is '%d'.

     stackspace = %d bytes
          Size of stack space is '%d' bytes.

     buffer_size = %d bytes
          Size of io buffer space in bytes.

     iobuffers = %d
          Number of io buffer spaces is '%d'.

     directory_spaces = %d
          Number of directory buffer spaces is '%d'.

     tick_delay = %d ticks
          Number of delay ticks to start refresh is '%d'.

  Option hw
     This option prints the overall flag values under  the  title
     "cache  working  states". If set, it is shown as "asserted",
     and otherwise as "unasserted".  If "asserted",  the  meaning
     should be half obvious.

     are  mostly some kind of errors correctable in command line.
     A few show misbehavior of a device or a program.

     ccdisk driver already installed
          Tried  to  install  ccdisk.exe   twice,   either   from
          config.sys command line.

     %cmem requests duplicated in %s
          Duplicate requests on a memory type  '%c"  in  argument
          '%s'.

     %s not loadable
          Trying to load a program '%s' upon a  dos  multitasker,
          which must be loaded before any multitasker.

     ignoring the other parameter(s)
          Delete option precedes all  the  other  arguments,  and
          they are ignored.

     cache condition flag conflict
          More than two  modes  for  concache.exe  condition  are
          specified.   The  mode  must  be  one  of  stop, write-
          through, write-after, or concurrency.

     can't allocate pages of expanded memory (%x)
          Failed to allocate  ems  with  error  code  '%x'.   See
          appropriate manual for the code.

     can't allocate raw protected memory
          Failed to allocate raw protected (int15) memory.

     can't change buffer size
          Too difficult to do requested thing  under  DOS,  since
          this changes the size of resident concache.exe.

     can't change expanded memory
          Ems reallocate request failed.

     can't change extended memory
          Emb reallocate request failed.

     can't locate partition table on (htl) = (%d%d%d)
          Tried to take over but cannot locate  partition  table.
          The  "htl"  means host number, target id, and lun which
          caused trouble.

     can't open program %s
          The program file '%s' cannot be opened.   This  reading
          is for relocating the program by itself.

     can't read '%s' ... not loaded high
          Program '%s' is  going  to  conventional  memory.   See
          above entry.

     can't read bpb, partition skipped
          Tried to read bpb table but a read error encountered.

     can't read partition table .. skipped
          Tried to read partition table but a read error  encoun-
          tered.  The partition is ignored.

     can't read partition table on (htl) = (%d%d%d)
          Tried to take over but cause a read  error.  The  "htl"
          means  host  number,  target  id,  and lun which caused

     can't read relocation info
          Relocation info for concache.exe cannot be  read.   See
          also above entry.

     can't reallocate raw protected memory
          Since raw protected memory is not well considered to be
          shared among programs, concache.exe avoids reallocation
          of it.  concache.exe.

     can't switch back driver entries '%c:'
          Disk compression program has changed driver entries  in
          an   unknown  way.   Concache.exe  will  refuse  to  be
          deleted.

          Cant  get  ems  state  with  error  code  '%02x'.   See
          appropriate manual for the code.

     extended memory available only %d kilobytes
          Said amount of emb is impossible, since  available  emb
          is only '%d" kb.

     format error character '%c' in '%s'
          Memory request format '%s' contains an error  character
          '%c'.

     interrupt %02x not owned
          Later program (a TSR or a driver) has  overwritten  the
          interrupt  entry '%02x'.  The program will refuse to be
          deleted.

     memory overflow
          Io buffer requirement  made  concache.exe  size  larger
          than 64kb

     memory reallocation exceeded initial available amount
          Reallocation request exceeds initially estimated avail-
          able  memory  (the  initial estimate allocates a bitmap
          for the maximum possible memory for  the  configuration
          so this message can be an indication of a bug.)

     no expanded memory driver
          EMMXXXX0 missing or does not respond.

     no extended memory driver
          Xms manager missing.

     no hex allowed in '%s'
          Memory request in decimal has hexadecimal character  in
          its string '%s'.

     no int13-int40 path
          Int13 against floppy is not rerouted to int40  on  this

     no memory defined on command line
          Memory must have been specified to load concache.exe.

     no protected memory
          Raw protected memory is not available.

     no sign allowed in '%s'
          Sign appeared on hexadecimal memory requests.

     non-decimal chars in '%s'
          Memory request in decimal has non-decimal character  in

     not allowed to run twice in config.sys
          Tried to run twice (or more) from config.sys.

     not enough extended memory (DX= %02x)
          Said amount of emb is impossible to allocate,  as  only
          '%02x' kb are available.

     pmem available only %d kb
          Too little raw protect memory to allocate, as only '%d'
          kb are available.

     possible spelling error in 'delete' option
          Delete option incorrectly written.

     possible spelling error in 'gang_interrupts' option
          Gang_interrupts option incorrectly written.

     possible spelling error in 'load_umb' option

     possible spelling error in 'stacksize='
          "Stacksize=" argument incorrectly written.

     possible spelling error in 'unknown' option
          Unknown_drives_allowed option incorrectly written.

     possible spelling error in tick_delay
          "Tick_delay=" argument incorrectly written.

     protected memory can't expand later
          Request to allocate zero byte raw protected  memory  is
          not  allowed.   Since  it is not changeable later, this
          makes no sense.

     range error in drive array '%s'
          Non-alphabetic drive is specified in drive range '%s'.

     revert to previous memory scheme
          Decided not to change cache memory scheme.

     set/reset or lock/unlock conflict
          Requesting both set and reset or lock and unlock,  with
          must be a confusion.

     size exceeds 64k limit by %d bytes
          The size of sum of code and data  space  must  be  less
          than  64kb, as current implementation is in tiny memory
          model.

     sorry, this machine type is not not supported
          Machine is not of compatible type.

     stray '=' sign
          The '=' is used in an unknown context in command line.
