Can anyone tell me what GS/OS error 4 is? I'm getting this trying to read from a file (using ReadGS in Orca/c), but neither the ORCA manual nor my outdated Prodos 16 manual list an error $04. -- Jawaid Bazyar | This message was posted to thousands of machines Junior/Computer Engineering | throughout the entire civilized world.

It's in the GS/OS manual (APDA); just like under ProDOS 8, error $04 is an invalid parameter count. Under P8 there's a single correct parameter count for a given call (almost always), but with a class-1 GS/OS call (like ReadGS) there is a range of valid counts (that is, all the parameters after the first N of them are optional & have reasonable defaults/etc). If you don't have the GS/OS manual, you probably don't mean to be making the xxxGS calls (you can use the class-0 ProDOS 16-compatible calls instead, for most operations). -- David A.
