CE
(ver 1.53)
Shareware made Abandoned Freeware


CE has been extracted from the Inkutils utility suite.

CE is a TSR that replaces the terse "Abort, Retry, Ignore" 
Critical Error message (which most users do not know how to 
reply to) with a more informative pop-up window. It uses only 
900 bytes of memory, and is fully compatible with 4DOS/NDOS.

Type "CE /h" to view a list of command line switches.  If you
type "CE /help", the program will launch a CE instruction 
manual stored in the executable program INKUTILS.EXE.


Note: The message is a request for operator clarification;

 Abort = please terminate the entire running program (without saving). 
 Retry = please jump back to the processes entry point. 
 Ignore = please lie to the process that everything is OK.

[Fail is a "punt".  It reports to the process the failures error code, 
then asks the process to continue.  The expectation is that the process 
itself will use the error code to make a decision on how to deal with 
the error.  However many processes instead just treat Fail like Ignore.]
