Or any > > other OSs that you are an expert on? On the OS I work on (not a PC OS) every program is supposed to set a return code. It doesn't matter if it's a main program or a subprogram (nor should it, since today's main program may be tomorrow's subprogram and today's subprogram may be tomorrow's main program). Also, and this is a big difference from UNIX/Linux the return codes are /fully documented/. I know that last part is a big shocker, but yeah, code worth writing to sell to people is code that needs to give good messages and documented meaningful return codes. Actually, our convention on that OS is to give two types of codes, a reason code and a return code and those are standardized with groups of normal, warning, error, severe error, etc. return code and then a reason code that specifies, within that category, the reason for the error. We don't give error messages like opps, sorry, etc. Do yourself and everybody else a favor. Set return codes and document them. It's the Right Thing To Do.
