Hello.  I seem to at least for the present have responsibility for the
Windows client software for Kerberos at Cornell (kclient and a few related
pieces), as the previous person has moved on to another position.

One thing I hope gets addressed in this new release is the accessibility
of error text.  If you chaps don't want to move the error strings 
out of hard-coded tables, at least export (with FAR PASCAL) a function
that will dig one out for us.  The function "error_message" would do
nicely, I think.  KClient isn't handling error codes from krbv4win
functions properly, and the only way I can see to fix it is for me to
COPY all the various lists of messages into my resources, and duplicate
the functionality of error_message.  What a waste of memory this will
be.  It would also be nice to be able to call "lsh_com_err_proc" or
something like it (it looks up and actually displays an error message).
