A closer look at Error Buddy
The Error Buddy application tries to explain the error codes you keep getting back from API calls. Enter the error code in either hex or decimal format and press return to get a textual description of the error, often along with the C macro definition for that error. Error Buddy currently supports the following API's: Win32, MAPI, TAPI, Notes, LDAP, DirectSound, DirectSetup, DirectPlay, DirectInput, DirectDraw, and Winsock. When you first run Error Buddy, you have to tell it what translation DLLs to use. Click on the system menu and select translators. Click on the add button, and make sure you are in the Error Buddy sub-directory. Select all DLLs in the directory and click on open. The translations you have installed will be listed, click OK and start translating.
