   According to the extended list of GS error codes reference at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/gserrors.html (referenced from
the csa2 FAQ), those translate to:

005C GS/OS:not an executable file
1102 OMF version error

   The OMF (object module format, what all ProDOS 16 and GS/OS
programs use) Version error is possibly easier to explain. OMF did
undergo many changes from the original version in ProDOS 16 and isn't
as backward compatible as would be liked. The major changes did happen
at the ProDOS 16 to GS/OS split; almost all OMFs created by GS/OS
tools won't be readable on ProDOS 16 boot disks. [It is theoretically
possible to do some bit twiddling and get ProDOS 16 happy OMFs from
small GS/OS ones, but that's an unreleased hack of a program of mine :]

   So, make sure you're running GS/OS system 6, and the files you're
trying to run haven't become corrupted and were meant to be run in the
first place. [If they're sitting on a HFS disk, that's a very strong
possibility.]
