Starting then exiting the W3DBVER utility dated 3/22/93 in debug Windows 3.1 generates the following errors and warnings:

err W3DBVER SHOWWINDOW+C: Invalid HWND: 0x0000

Each of the "err" lines is also followed by:

FatalExit code = 0xNNNN
Abort, Break, Exit or Ignore?

WORKAROUND

Start the DBWIN application that comes with debug Windows 3.1, choose the Settings command from the Options menu, and check the "Don't Break on Errors" options. This will avoid the FatalExit prompt.
