Fatal errors are errors that cause the application program to write an error message and return to the operating system. In this case, the error level is set by the program to indicate the error condition by calling exit(SS$_ABORT) under VMS and exit(1) under all other operating systems. All fatal errors associated with Vermont Views are detected and reported during initialization when using either the production or development libraries. These messages are located in vv_infomsg.c and can be changed.
