Computers weren't commodities, then.  Was that any worse than a pop-up
window that describes everything except what the error is really about
and gives no pointers to additional information?  At least with the
IBM manuals, it was possible to find out where the above originated
and to establish an apporximation to the cause.

All I'm after is a somewhat less expensive approach to translating an
error message to its nearest Unix errno.  This is no more demanding
than providing for multilanguage error messages, something Plan 9 will
no doubt have to do before too long.
