I'm wondering if anybody can help me to run "Lorenz" which was posted to comp.binaries.apple2 a while ago. When I launch it from the desktop I get the message: A fatal error has occured 46 In Proc: StartUpTools Press any key to exit Details: I have a ROM01 ][GS with 1.75MB RAM, of which 800kB is set aside for a RAM disk. I have no exotic peripherals, and no hard disk. I boot System 5.0 to the Finder, and copy the seven files of "Lorenz" into the RAM disk. The files are: graph, DATA.OUT, EDATA, GRAPH.R, GRAPH.C, EDATA.C, and README. I then launch "graph" from the RAM disk. It touches my system disk very briefly before giving the above message. My system disk has the tools: 014, 015, 016, 018, 019, 020, 021, 022, 023, 025, 026, 027, 028, 029, and 034. I've tried launching this off a 3"1/2 disk instead of the RAM disk, with no success, and from the shell. If memory serves, error 46 means "file not found".

My guess is it's some application-specific file that is missing or misplaced. You've got all the toolsets that seem relevant; looks like only ACE, MIDI, and Video Overlay are missing. If the program is starting up the Font Manager, you need to have a Fonts folder inside your System folder--just a stab. -- --David A.

I found that one or more of my cdevs were trashed on my hard disk. No other program complained. Reloading from my back up disks fixed the problem -- Joe Walters att!ihlpf!bird IH 2A-227 (708) 979-9527
