BASICTrans_Error.

Hi,

I might be way off here, as I've currently no documentation to work
from, just experimentation, but it seems that OSLib's definition of
BASICTrans_Error thinks R1 is a reference to an OS_Error.

    SWI BASICTrans_Error = (NUMBER 0x42C81 "Copy translated error string to
          buffer",
          ENTRY (R0 = .Int: error_no,
          R1 = .Ref OS_Error: error_buffer),
          EXIT (R0?, R1?, R2?, R3?));

BASICTrans seems to actually place a \0-terminated string at R1.  Can
someone confirm OSLib's definition seems wrong?

As an aside, is it documented what BASICTrans does if R0 < 0 or R0 >
largest valid error number (112 for RO 3.11)?

Cheers,


Ralph.
