robots.txt logs: results?

[anothen]

I've discovered that msnbot has crawled my site. I wanted to know the results, I don't understand it too well, is the "...404.. " an error code?:

65.54.188.66 - - [25/Aug/2004:13:03:52 -0400] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 404 640 "-" "msnbot/0.11 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)"
65.54.188.66 - - [25/Aug/2004:13:03:53 -0400] "GET /javascript/inputwrite.html HTTP/1.0" 404 640 "-" "msnbot/0.11 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)"

The IP I understand, the time stamp I understand, what does "...

"GET /javascript/inputwrite.html HTTP/1.0" 404 640 "-" "msnbot/0.11

..." mean?
and obviously the (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm) is the crawler.
In any case, this means that a crawler is trying to index my site?
Also, do I need to have the robots.txt file?

Most likely a JavaScript link it couldn't follow hence 404.
