NAME
    Fault -- Returns the text associated with a DOS error code (V36)

SYNOPSIS
    success = Fault(code, header, buffer, len)
    D0               D1     D2      D3    D4

    BOOL Fault(LONG, STRPTR, STRPTR, LONG)

FUNCTION
    This routine obtains the error message text for the given error code.
    The header is prepended to the text of the error message, followed
    by a colon.  Puts a null-terminated string for the error message into
    the buffer.  By convention, error messages should be no longer than 80
    characters (+1 for termination), and preferably no more than 60.
    The value returned by IoErr() is set to the code passed in.  If there
    is no message for the error code, the message will be "Error code
    <number>n".

INPUTS
    code   - Error code
    header - header to output before error text
    buffer - Buffer to receive error message.
    len    - Length of the buffer.

RESULT
    success - Success/failure code.
