MESSAGES COPYRIGHT horio shoichi 1995 MESSAGES NAME messages.txt - Screen Displays From Programs Synopsis Help message From command line shows the state of the resident concache.exe. Also at startup, concache.exe, ccdisk.exe, and floppies.exe produce various messages. Most of them are too obvious but others may be confusing. This file tries to add some words to those potentially might be misinterpreted messages. Help Messages It can be seen if concache.exe is already loaded or not yet. dos concurrent disk cache not loaded Concache.exe is not yet loaded. Otherwise, when combined with help option, following mes- sages are shown. Option hc Shows configuration of concache.exe. concache.exe loaded at %x Load address of concache.exe is segment '%s'. concurrency = %d devices Number of devices that can run concurrent is '%d'. stackspace = %d bytes Size of stack space is '%d' bytes. buffer_size = %d bytes Size of io buffer space in bytes. iobuffers = %d Number of io buffer spaces is '%d'. directory_spaces = %d Number of directory buffer spaces is '%d'. tick_delay = %d ticks Number of delay ticks to start refresh is '%d'. Option hw This option prints the overall flag values under the title "cache working states". If set, it is shown as "asserted", and otherwise as "unasserted". If "asserted", the meaning should be half obvious.

A few show misbehavior of a device or a program. ccdisk driver already installed Tried to install ccdisk.exe twice, either from config.sys command line. %cmem requests duplicated in %s Duplicate requests on a memory type '%c" in argument '%s'. %s not loadable Trying to load a program '%s' upon a dos multitasker, which must be loaded before any multitasker. ignoring the other parameter(s) Delete option precedes all the other arguments, and they are ignored. cache condition flag conflict More than two modes for concache.exe condition are specified. The mode must be one of stop, write- through, write-after, or concurrency. can't allocate pages of expanded memory (%x) Failed to allocate ems with error code '%x'. See appropriate manual for the code. can't allocate raw protected memory Failed to allocate raw protected (int15) memory. can't change buffer size Too difficult to do requested thing under DOS, since this changes the size of resident concache.exe. can't change expanded memory Ems reallocate request failed. can't change extended memory Emb reallocate request failed. can't delete cache under dos multitaskers Trying to delete concache.exe under a dos multitasker. can't get available extended memory (BL= %02x) Failed to get available amount of emb memory with error code '%02x'.

See appropriate manual for the code. can't locate partition table on (htl) = (%d%d%d) Tried to take over but cannot locate partition table. The "htl" means host number, target id, and lun which caused trouble. can't open program %s The program file '%s' cannot be opened. This reading is for relocating the program by itself. can't read '%s' ... not loaded high Program '%s' is going to conventional memory. See above entry. can't read bpb, partition skipped Tried to read bpb table but a read error encountered. can't read partition table .. skipped Tried to read partition table but a read error encoun- tered. The partition is ignored. can't read partition table on (htl) = (%d%d%d) Tried to take over but cause a read error. The "htl" means host number, target id, and lun which caused trouble. can't read relocation info Relocation info for concache.exe cannot be read. See also above entry. can't reallocate raw protected memory Since raw protected memory is not well considered to be shared among programs, concache.exe avoids reallocation of it. concache.exe. can't switch back driver entries '%c:' Disk compression program has changed driver entries in an unknown way. Concache.exe will refuse to be deleted. concache.exe doesn't allow delete floppies Concache.exe is hot on floppies.
