Summary:

The descriptions for some NMK errors do not appear in the online help files that ship with C versions 6.00 and 6.00a. These errors are U1451, U1452, U1453, U1454, and U1455. The help files that ship with MASM 6.00 contain these error messages.

More Information:

The following is a list of NMK errors and accompanying explanations that are not in the C 6.00 and 6.00a online help:

NMK Error U1451

Out of memory.

There is not enough available memory to complete the operation.

You may have too many TSR programs installed. Remove some TSRs.

A previous command may not have released memory when it terminated. This can happen if you attempt to run a TSR from within NMK.

You may have too many active command shells. Leave the current shell with the operating-system Exit command.

NMK Error U1452

COMSPEC not defined.

The COMSPEC environment variable is not defined.

NMK requires COMSPEC to be set to the full path name of the operating system command processor.

NMK Error U1453

Error reaching script file.

NMK encountered an error while reading the file that contains a script of commands to execute during a shell or build operation.

This can be caused by a CTRL+BREAK or a disk error while reading the script file.

NMK Error U1454

Could not execute.

NMK was unable to execute the given command.

Some possible causes for this error are:

  - The executable file for the command was not found.

  - The path name of the command was not found.

  - The operating system denied access to the file: it is in use
    by another program.

  - There is not enough available memory to execute the command.

  - A previous command may not have released memory when it
    terminated. This can happen if you attempt to run a TSR
    from within NMK.

  - The environment is corrupt.

  - The executable file is corrupt.

NMK Error U1455

Bad command or filename.

An operating system command or executable program could not be executed.

The command may be spelled incorrectly, or it does not exist on the paths specified in the PATH environment variable. Make sure that your environment contains the recommended settings from the NEW-VARS.BAT file created by the Setup program when you installed NMK.
