MRBC Error Messages

MRBC version 1.1 displays the following errors and warnings. All preprocessing and run-time errors cause MRBC to stop the conversion process. Run-time warnings are for information only and do not affect the .MRB file.

Preprocessing Errors

Bitmap or directory ‘%s’ is not found.

PROBLEM: MRBC cannot find the specified bitmap or directory.

RESULT: MRBC aborts the operation and does not create the bitmap file.

SOLUTION: Check the path and bitmap filename. Make any necessary corrections, and then rerun MRBC.

File ‘%s’ is not a valid bitmap.

PROBLEM: MRBC found the file but does not recognize the bitmap’s format.

RESULT: MRBC aborts the operation and does not create the bitmap file.

SOLUTION: Make sure that the bitmap file is saved correctly. Make any necessary corrections, and then rerun MRBC.

Run-time Errors

Out of memory.

PROBLEM: There is not enough memory to run MRBC.

RESULT: MRBC aborts the operation and does not create the bitmap file.

SOLUTION: Try compiling the Help file under OS/2. Or, free some memory or reduce the size of the bitmaps, and then rerun MRBC.

Out of disk space.

PROBLEM: There is not enough free disk space for MRBC to create the bitmap file.

RESULT: MRBC aborts the operation and does not create the bitmap file.

SOLUTION: Free some disk space, and then rerun MRBC.

Run-time Warnings

The supported monitor types are CGA, EGA, VGA, and 8514.

PROBLEM: The command line specifies an invalid monitor type. This message appears only in interactive mode.

RESULT: MRBC prompts you to enter the monitor type for the specified bitmap. If you enter a valid display type, MRBC continues processing. Otherwise, MRBC aborts the operation.

SOLUTION: Enter one of the supported display types when prompted.
