SUMMARY
=======
The MAKE P-CODE utility (MPC) is required to make a p-code executable or a
dynamic-link library (DLL) usable. Different messages are displayed if MPC is
run on an executable that does not contain p-code, depending on whether the .EXE
is targeted for MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows.
When MPC is run on a Windows executable or DLL that does not contain p-code, the
following warning is produced:
warning MP4002: file contains no p-code : 'filename'
However, when MPC is run on an MS-DOS executable that does not contain p-code,
the following error is produced:
fatal error MP1010: 'filename' is not a segmented executable file
MORE INFORMATION
================
Windows executables are always segmented. A typical MS-DOS executable is
non-segmented. However, compiling an MS-DOS application with /Oq and linking
with /PCODE produces a segmented executable. Therefore, MPC expects a segmented
executable as input. An MS-DOS executable without p-code is not a segmented
executable, hence the MP1010 error.
The final MS-DOS p-code executable produced by MPC is not segmented, even though
the non-runnable version produced by the linker is segmented. Therefore, the
MP1010 error may also be generated by MPC if it is passed a runnable MS-DOS
p-code executable as input.
