Yes on significant 2 low bytes. Not true on starting at 0. You can return negative error codes from DOS programs to Windows. We do it every day at work. Vendor supplied code returns errors -1, -2 and -3 for different errors. If you think about void main() where you can't return an error code compared to int main() where you can return an error code you would know that -100 is a valid error code. I can't recall a top level module starting with uint main() And I've never seen an error greater than 128 -- "Ninety percent of politicians give the other 10 percent a bad name." -- Henry Kissinger _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
