Hello: A while ago, I went to use my FLASH program to call the local boards like I always do, but this time; I got a TOS ERROR #35 message and couldn't use this program. Frustrated, I returned to the store I bought this program from, and they said I'd have to send it to the company. So I did... I am now using the VT52 emulator that comes with the USA Laguage disk. I am sure that when I ask this, some people will no doubt wonder too: Wbat does the TOS ERROR #35 mean? I looked up the error number, but found it no where in any of the manuals. Thanks in advance for any replies. You can send any replies to: David D. Dean, President David D.

If you get this error, your program file is corrupted, i.e. TOS does not recognize it any more as executable. A reason for this is a bad program header or a fatal error in the relocation table. ******************************************************** * Uwe Seimet * * seimet@rhrk.uni-kl.de * *------------------------------------------------------* * I hate this machine, I wish that they would sell it. * * It doesn't do what I want but only what I tell it. * * (Programmer's lament) * ********************************************************

TOS Error 35 generally means the program is corrupted somehow... Your FLASH disk has probably developed a bad sector which renders the program useless... The best defense against this happening is to back up every disk and only run programs from the backup disk... if anything happens to the programs on that disk, you can always copy the original disk onto a new disk and use that...
