Here's a snipped of my BATTIPS.TXT file (from my MPDOSTIP.ZIP):
 
 Program: DOS version:  Errorlevel:
 ...
 SORT     Novell DOS 7  0 ok
                        1 (NEW: Thanks to Jeff and Colin this code
                          is undergoing some examination now.)        
                        2 User break (<Ctrl>+<C>)
                        4 Wrong syntax
 ...
 
If you need a comprehensive list of already known errorlevels, 
that I have collected in the past, have a look at my file... ;-)  

Bye,

 Matthias
