Error Handling and Messages from the BCX Translator

The BCX translator returns a 1 when a successful translation has been completed. If a problem has occured during translation and BCX aborts, 0 is returned. This return value can be determined by a batch file and a conditional jump can be made based on whether or not the compilation was successful. Here is a sample PCALL.BAT that jumps to an error message if 0 is returned.

 setlocal
 @ECHO OFF
 IF NOT EXIST %1.bas GOTO usage
 C:\bin\bc.exe %1 -p
 IF errorlevel = 0 GOTO errormsg
 CALL C:\dev\PellesC\Bin\povars32.bat

 IF NOT EXIST "res\%~1.rc" GOTO nores
 ECHO Compiling resources.....
