- OS/2 2.0's command line error messages are poor. Sometimes they are short
- and bad, such as the messsage that a non bootable disk formatted under
- os/2 give if a user boots off of it by accident. What ever happened to
- "non-system disk in drive a:, please remove disk and press any key to
- continue?" Other times they are long and bad, such as the error message
- that replaced "bad command or filename". The unifing factor here is bad.
-
- This is especially annoying because it is easy to fix.
