SUMMARY
=======
The following table of EXE2BIN errors is adapted from "The MS-DOS Encyclopedia"
(Microsoft Press). Even though EXE2BIN is provided with MS-DOS, it is often used
during the process of building an application with the Microsoft Macro Assembler
(MASM).
Error: File cannot be converted
Cause: The program to be converted has one of the following problems:
- The program has an origin of 0100h but a different entry point.
- The program requires segment fixups.
- The program code and data are larger than 64 KB.
- The program has more than one declared segment
- The file is not a valid .EXE-format file.
Error: File creation error
Cause: EXE2BIN cannot create the output file for one of the following reasons:
- A read-only file with the same name already exists
- The specified directory is full
- The specified disk is full, write-protected, or unreadable.
Error: File not found
Cause: The file does not exist or the incorrect path was given.
Error: Fixups needed - base segment (hex):
Cause: The .EXE-format file contains segment references that would ordinarily be
relocated by the .EXE file loader. Specify the absolute segment address at which
the converted module will be executed.
Error: Incorrect DOS version
Cause: The version of EXE2BIN is not compatible with the version of MS-DOS that
is running.
Error: Insufficient disk space
Cause: The destination disk has insufficient space to create the memory-image
output file.
Error: Insufficient memory
Cause: Not enough memory is available to run EXE2BIN.
Error: WARNING - Read error in EXE file. Amount read less than size in
header.
Cause: The file size given in the .EXE header is inconsistent with the actual
size of the file.
