Thanks Ben. But does the Palm OS REALLY have any system error message that would be 256 bytes long?
I am wondering how big I have to make my buffer and the max length parameter to ensure I get the whole error string. But allowing for 256 bytes seems overkill. I would have expected that the Palm OS writers would have defined a macro or constant for the longest defined system error string with each SDK version. Put it this way: in the implementation of the function called by the ErrAlert macro, how big did the Palm OS writers make the string buffer for that function?
