MacErrors is a small application that shows you the result code and description for all of the Macintosh system errors. I got tired of looking up errors in a scrolling list DA so I wrote this program. Just type in a valid error ID and press <return> or <enter>. The result code and description will be displayed to you. If you enter an invalid ID, MacErrors will beep at you.
Licensing agreement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MacErrors is "BoloWare". This means that if you like MacErrors, send Stuart Cheshire a donation for his really wicked network tank game Bolo.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
From the Bolo Docs:
The price of Bolo is $25 in US Dollars, or £15 in British Pounds, whichever is easiest for you to send. You have the opportunity to actually play the game before you decide whether it is worth the price I ask. Bolo has no copy protection, no expiry date, no network serial number registration, and no disabled features which you cannot use until you pay. My attitude is that some people are honest, and some people are not. The dishonest ones will never pay anyway, so all the software protection just inconveniences the honest people.
If you want to show Bolo to a group of 10 friends who have not seen it, they are not required to buy their own copies before they can play, as they would if Bolo were like most commercial software. However, if YOU are a regular Bolo player, and you wish to see Bolo continue to be improved, then please pay your shareware fee. As with all shareware, knowing someone else who has paid does not count as "having paid your shareware fee." Please send $25 to "Stuart Cheshire, P.O. Box 8323, Stanford, CA 94309, USA" or send £15 to "Stuart Cheshire, 290 Clarence Road, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B74 4LT, England" If you can't afford $25 or feel like you don't play often enough to justify that price, then obviously I'd rather you sent me something than nothing at all. If you can't afford anything at all then obviously I'd rather you played Bolo than not, so send me a post card instead. Ultimately, it's down to your own concience to decide.
Bolo may be distributed freely by electronic means, such as anonymous ftp services. Bolo may not be distributed on any form of physical media for which money is charged or a "membership fee" is required, without the express written permission of the author.
If any of these are missing, you can obtain the full Bolo package by Gopher (or by anonymous ftp) from Sumex-Aim.Stanford.EDU, or at certain times of day, if you are lucky, from Bolo.Stanford.EDU.
How to contact Stuart Cheshire:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will warn you that I get swamped with e-mail, so regretably most of it gets ignored (well, you do want me to find time to work on Bolo, don't you?) but if you need to contact me about something important, you can use one of the following methods:
• My Internet e-mail address is: cheshire@cs.stanford.edu
• From CompuServe type: >INTERNET:cheshire@cs.stanford.edu
• From AppleLink type: cheshire@cs.stanford.edu@internet#
• From America Online just use the internet address: cheshire@cs.stanford.edu
• From programs using Novell's MHS (eg. Coordinator) type: mail@cserve{INTERNET:cheshire@cs.stanford.edu}
(Kudos to CompuServe here for providing a forwarding service for other systems which can't do it themselves)
• From Prodigy: use snail mail (address above), or change to another system.
(If you have any more to add to the list, or corrections to these, let me know.)
