Default

An err.log file is created or deleted.

Description

The error feedback from the Assembler to called tools is now done with a return code. In 16-bit Windows environments this was not possible. So in case of an error, an "err.log" file with the numbers of written errors was used to signal any errors. To indicate no errors, the "err.log"file would be deleted. Using UNIX or WIN32, a return code is now available. Therefore, this file is no longer needed when only UNIX or WIN32 applications are involved. To use a 16-bit Maker with this tool, an error file must be created in order to signal any error.
