Roar,

    Yes, BASIC. You know: poor man's FORTRAN? (I could use another
word other than "poor", but you get the drift...)

    Seriously, as I recall the various library manuals, some of the
routines
indicate the class of error or warning messages that they are liable to
return;
some stated that they could return a certain class of error returns for
the
BAS library.

    I'm not making this up...
