# $Id$ # # FreeCOM national customization file # # Language: English # Codepage: ASCII (7bit) / any codepage # Author: FreeCOM maintainer # # This file is used to generate all the messages that command.com # outputs. This file is the input to the fixstrs program, and it # outputs strings.h and strings.dat. The .DAT file is appended to # the command.exe file, and then renamed to command.com. The .H # file contains all the info for the program to retreive the # messages. # # The format of this file is simple. Blank lines and lines starting # with "#" are ignored. # Each message starts with a label name that will be used to refer to # the message in the program. A label starts with a colon ":". # A label has a version ID attached to it delimited by a hash sign, e.g.: # :TEXT_LABEL#1 # This version is incremented each time the contents of the string has # undergo a larger change. The same language definition may contain the # same label up to one time, regardless of the version. FIXSTRS compares # both the label and the version ID and both must match. # A missing version is assumed as "#0". # If there is a percent sign (%) appended to the version, the printf() # format string %-style placeholders are compared for the strings. The # sign need to be set in DEFAULT.LNG only. # # All lines after the label are the message until a line with a # single "." or "," in the first column. The difference is the # period (".") signifies that there will be a final carrage return when # the message is displayed, but a comma does not. # # The body may contain backslash escape sequences as known from C; there # are the usual \# (where '#' is a lowercase letter except 'x' or one of # "[]{}?"), \\ (to embed a backslash itself) # \x?? (where '??' are up to two hexadecimal digits), \0 (to embed a NUL # character), \, and \. (to specify a period or comma in the first column # of a line) and the single \ at the end of the line to suppress to append # a newline character. Note: There is NO octal sequence except the short \0! # There is a known bug (or feature): [ignore the very first hash mark] #:TEXT_LABEL#2 # #\ #, # Although the first data line appends the newline, the second does not, # though the comma removes the newline from the first line. # Defining prompts # Some prompts may cause an user interaction. Those ones should be in sync # with the issued text. To define how to interprete a pressed key, they # are mapped into metakeys like that: [ignore first hash sign] ## Return value: a -> Yes; else -> No #:PROMPT_YES_NO#1 #YyNn\n\r{CBREAK} #aabb b b b # (Yes/No) ? \ #. # All strings, which label start with "PROMPT_", are parsed as prompts. # The first two lines of the body are special; the first one enumerates all # valid keys, the second one assigns arbitary metakeys. Metakeys may # range from 'a' through 'z'; spaces are ignored; everything else cause # an error. The comment preceeding the prompt definition associates the # metakeys with their meaning. # The remaining lines of the body contain the text to be displayed. # # Above example defines a native Yes/No prompt with a space behind the question # mark and no appended newline. # The metakey 'a' means "User answered with 'Yes'" and 'b' means no. # The keys 'Y' and 'y' are mapped to metakey 'a' (aka Yes) and the keys # 'N', 'n', Enter and ^Break are mapped to metakey 'b' (aka No). # The spaces between the 'b's in the second line had been inserted to # align them with the corresponding keys of the first line, hence in order # to enhance readibility of the association between the pressed keys and their # mapping into a metakey. # # The first line (pressed keys) has to enumerate the ASCII value as returned # by DOS or BIOS (INT-10); special keys normally expressed with ASCII code zero, # but a non-zero scancode are NOT supported; this limit includes for instance # the function keys F1 through F12 and the cursor keys and it is not possible # to differ between the number pad and normal keys. # The keys may be enumerated by their ASCII character, by a backslash sequence, # or a symbolic name enclosed in curly brackets (see FIXSTRS.C "symkeys[]" # array about the supported symnames). # # These are error messages # ## Issued if a single character option is unknown :TEXT_ERROR_INVALID_SWITCH#0% Invalid switch. - /%c . ## Issued if a longname option is unknown :TEXT_ERROR_INVALID_LSWITCH#0% Invalid switch. - /%s . ## Issued if the context, the type of argument etc. is invalid :TEXT_ERROR_ILLFORMED_OPTION#0% Ill-formed option: '%s' . :TEXT_ERROR_OPT_ARG#0% Option '%s' cannot have an argument . :TEXT_ERROR_OPT_NOARG#0% Option '%s' must have an argument . :TEXT_INVALID_NUMBER#0% Invalid number specified in '%s' . :TEXT_ERROR_CLOSE_QUOTE#0% Missing closing quote: %c . :TEXT_ERROR_TEMPFILE Cannot create temporary file . :TEXT_ERROR_TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS_STR#0% Too many parameters. - '%s' . :TEXT_ERROR_TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS Too many parameters. . :TEXT_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER#0% Invalid parameter. - '%s' . :TEXT_ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND Path not found. . :TEXT_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND File not found. . :TEXT_ERROR_SFILE_NOT_FOUND#0% File not found. - '%s' . :TEXT_ERROR_REQ_PARAM_MISSING#0% Required parameter missing. . :TEXT_ERROR_INVALID_DRIVE#0% Invalid drive %c:. . :TEXT_ERROR_BADCOMMAND#2% Bad command or filename - "%s". . :TEXT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY Out of memory error. . :TEXT_ERROR_OUT_OF_DOS_MEMORY#1 Allocation of DOS memory failed. . :TEXT_ERROR_CANNOTPIPE Cannot pipe!
