Following a large number of requests, I have decided to post this rather
than email everyone
Tos Error Number Meaning
---------------- -------
0 Ok, No error
-1 General error
-2 Drive not ready
-3 Unknown command
-4 CRC error
-5 Bad request (invalid command)
-7 Seek error (track not found)
-8 Sector not found
-9 Printer error (no paper?)
-10 Write error
-11 Read error
-12 General error
-13 Disk write-protected
-14 Disk was changed
-15 Unknown device
-16 Bad sector encountered during verify
-17 No disk in drive
-32 Invalid function error
-33 File not found
-34 Path not found
-35 Too many files open
-36 Access not possible
-37 Invalid handle number
-39 Not enough memory
-40 Invalid memory block address
-46 Invalid drive spec
-49 No more files
There may be ones I have missed out and perhaps someone in the know could
let me know . Why -35 is returned when a corrupt program is attempted I
have no idea.
I hope this has been of some use.

When porting GEM/AES they must have forgotten to switch the error messages around, or at least this one. In short: TOS error #35 is usually indicating a corrupt program but I think I saw it once when I was really out of handles, so the other error number got ported properly.
