Error table source file
=======================

   The error table source file begins with the declaration of the table
name, as

     error_table TABLENAME

   Individual error codes are specified with

     error_code ERROR_NAME, "TEXT MESSAGE"

   where `ec' can also be used as a short form of `error_code'.  To
indicate the end of the table, use `end'.  Thus, a (short) sample error
table might be:


             error_table     dsc
     
             error_code      DSC_DUP_MTG_NAME,
                             "Meeting already exists"
     
             ec              DSC_BAD_PATH,
                             "A bad meeting pathname was given"
     
             ec              DSC_BAD_MODES,
                             "Invalid mode for this access control list"
     
             end
