The return codes from the compiler are documented in the "Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler User's Guide," Appendix A.3. They are as follows:

   Code       Meaning
   ----       -------
   0          No fatal error
   2          Program error (such as compiler error
   4          System level error (such as out of disk
                 space or compiler internal error)

The compiler returns the same exit codes when you run it from inside
the Microsoft Editor Version 1.00.
