Freeware
Current version: 1.0.1
Requires Apple IIgs System 6.0 or
later
Apple IIgs System 6.0 and 6.0.1
provide a standard error dialog box function (ErrorWindow) which is
used by a lot of applications. This function provides a
standard error message for an error code specified by the
application. Unfortunately, by default, this function only
has actual messages for a handful of errors—for
everything else, it just displays a cryptic message like
"Error #$5555 occurred."
That's helpful. Yeah. Right.
ErrorStrings Installer patches the Sys.Resources file that
comes with the System Software to add messages for every
standard Apple IIgs error, so you 'll be able to really
understand what's gone wrong. Or at least you'll be able to
tell the author of your favorite software that "An invalid
TextEdit handle was specified."
Whatever that means.
My thanks to Ken Lucke for providing the error message
resources installed by ErrorStrings Installer.
