Re: Prodos error $004B Help!!!

["thedm" <thedm@idir.net>]

4B error indicates a bad file or path. I suspect your on the gs and the
game has a forked file now and the program can not find it. This has
happend to me when Dragging files around.  I recommend you recopy the game
from your original disk, or reunshrinkit, {whichever} and place it in the
location you wish it be while you do this and not to manipulate the files
with the gui unless moving them from partition to partition.  This happend
to me with METAL wich is a PRODOS application, and moving around the
metal.config file in the gui created a 4b ERROR.  Or like nathan said,
somethign is just plain old missing.
