    They are too numerous to mention here.  According to my
PC-Lint manual, there are 950 different error messages that
you can encounter.  If you're *really* interested, I could
probably Xerox those pages of the manual and snail mail them
to you.  You may also be able to get this info from Gimpel
Software.

| Also:
| Is there an e-mail address where this company can be contacted?

    No - I just called them and asked.  You can, however,
contact Gimpel Software (the makers of PC-Lint) at the
following address and phone number:

     Gimpel Software
     3207 Hogarth Lane
     Collegeville, PA 19426
