MORE INFORMATION

The following is a list of PWB errors and accompanying explanations that are not in the C 6.0 online help:

PWB.COM Error U1350

PWB.COM could not find or load PWBED.EXE.

Make sure PWBED.EXE can be found on the PATH environment variable,
and that there is sufficient memory to operate PWB.

Check that your environment contains the recommended settings from
the NEW-VARS.BAT file created by the Setup program when you
installed PWB.

PWBED.EXE is the executable file for the PWB editor and
environment. PWB.COM processes the command line at start-up, and
handles all system-level commands when building projects and
executing Shell, User, Print, and Compile commands.

PWB.COM Error U1351

There is not enough available memory to complete the operation.

You may have too many TSR programs installed. Remove some TSRs.

A previous command may not have released memory when it terminated.
This can happen if you attempt to run a TSR from within PWB.

You may have too many active command shells. Leave the current
shell with the operating-system Exit command.

PWB.COM Error U1352

The COMPSEC environment variable is not defined.

PWB requires COMSPEC to be set to the full path name of the
operating system command processor.

PWB.COM Error U1353

PWB.COM encountered an error while reading the file that contains a
script of commands to execute during a shell or build operation.

This can be caused by a CTRL+BREAK or a disk error while reading
the script file.

PWB.COM Error U1354

PWB.COM was unable to execute the given command.

Some possible causes for this error are:
  • The executable file for the command was not found.
  • The path name of the command was not found.
  • The operating system denied access to the file; it is in use by another program.
  • There is not enough available memory to execute the command.
  • A previous command may not have released memory when it terminated. This can happen if you attempt to run a TSR from within PWB.
  • The environment is corrupt.
  • The executable file is corrupt.

PWB.COM Error U1355

An operating system command or executable program could not be
executed.

The command may be spelled incorrectly, or it does not exist on the
paths specified in the PATH environment variable. Make sure that
your environment contains the recommended settings from the
NEW-VARS.BAT file created by the Setup program when you installed
PWB.
