Abstract
This document describes two Fortran subroutine libraries, MSG and ERR, which
can be used to provide informational text to the user from any application
program.
It also describes a preliminary C interface for the two libraries -
this may be subject to change in the light of experience.
The Message Reporting System, MSG, is used for reporting non-error information
and the Error Reporting System, ERR, is used specifically for reporting error
messages.
The conventions for reporting errors from Starlink software are also
discussed in detail.
This document is recommended reading for anyone writing applications
software for use on Starlink.
