!JFShared/!ShowError/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Show Error
==========
Introduction
------------
This program simply opens a window showing the latest error as held in the
system variable Error$.
Usage
-----
Run the program. When an error (usually in WimpLib) occurs it will open a
window showing the error message, and line number.
Closing the window will not affect the program. It does not display an icon
on the icon bar unless -Icon is placed in the command string.
How it works
------------
Every 50cs the program checks the Error$ variable and if it has changed since
last time it was checked.
Help and message files
----------------------
This application is fully !Help compliant and it is recommended that when
getting to grips with it the help should be used if only to give it some
purpose! It also supports the use of MessageTrans and therefore translation
to another language or changing the messages for the fun of it is much easier
than it might have been.
<BasicLibrary$File>
-------------------
This application requires Justin Fletcher's JFShared library to function.
This can be obtained from Arcade and possibly other bulletin boards. A
version is currently being carried by Hensa, but for the latest version you
would be best off looking at Justin's web page (see below), or contacting him
by one of the other means below.
Compatibility
-------------
This application has been tested on the author's A5000, but due to the lack
of friends with Acorns has not been tested on other systems. Therefore, it
ought to work on any RO3.1 machine, and with a RO2 machine if it is
recognised in JFShared and uses no specific RO3 features.
