To do this, I'm intending to use the "status" property, as documented in ePAPR 1.0 (I'm using PowerPC). My question involves the "fail-sss" property value. What is the intention of "sss"? Is it meant to be 3 digit error code, or a string, or what? I'd like to append a failure message to the value if that's appropriate. Something like "fail-Widgit X did not respond" or some such thing. Please let me know if that's not the intended use of the "fail-sss" value. Thanks for your time, John
