Number PWB Error Message

U1350 Could not execute PWBED.EXE
  PWB.COM could not find or load PWBED.EXE.
  Make sure your system has the following configuration:

Make sure PWBED.EXE can be found on the path specified in 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 on start-up and handles all system-level commands when building projects and executing Shell, User, Print, and Compile commands.
U1351 out of memory
  There is not enough available memory to complete the operation.
  Some possible causes for this error are

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.

U1352 COMSPEC not defined
  The COMSPEC environment variable is not set.
  PWB requires COMSPEC to be set to the full pathname of the operating-system command processor.

  Some possible causes for this error are

The executable file for the command was not found.

The pathname of the command was not found.

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 executable file is corrupt.

U1355 Bad Command or Filename
  An operating-system command or executable program could not be executed.
  The command may be spelled incorrectly, or it does not exist on the path 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.
