23The error resource files in *.err of the subdirectories must only contain
24embedded "%s" format descriptors for info to be edited into messages returned
25from ioctls. Special "bytestream" data to be passed with status
26(implementation TBD) is signified by "@@@" as the last three characters of
27the  message text. Don't try to use this to pass a bytestream back via an
28ioctl: it will just trigger an error.

31files by the company for a product takes place you are NOT free to make edits
32to existing messages or their status code labels nor do any insertions. You
33may ONLY ONLY ONLY append new lines to the end of the file.
