Error messages for each module are recorded in a <modname>.msg file. The <modname>.msg file associates a mnemonic integer value (the error code) with a string (the error message). The following is a fragment of the api.msg file:
API_FAILED									"operation unsuccessful"
EMPTY_ARRAY									"array with no members given"
...
SMALL_RAD1									"radius 1 is too small"
SMALL_RAD2									"radius 2 is too small"
SMALL_LENGTH									"length is too small"
...
When a new module is added, create a new <modname>.msg file.
