New error messages can be added by hand on Macintosh platforms. No tools currently support this process. Follow these steps to add new error messages using a Macintosh platform:
	1.	If this is a new module, create new error/<modname>.err and error/e<modname>.cxx files, using existing files as templates. Be sure to use a unique name for the message module declared at the end of the file.
	2.	Edit the error/<modname>.err file, adding a #define for each message to be added. This is easiest if all new messages are added at the end of the file, using the next number in sequence.
		#define MY_MESSAGE api_errmod.message_code(61)
	3.	Edit the e<modname>.cxx file, adding an entry to the message_list for each message to be added. The ordering of the entries in the message_list must match the numbers in the error/<modname>.err file and the entry with two NULL values must be the last entry in the list.
		{"MY_MESSAGE", "my error message"},
	4.	Compile the error/e<modname>.cxx file.
