	It means that the Overlay Loader cannot find its overlays
which are a part of the .exe file.  You need to make sure that Telix
is started up from the subdirectory in which it resides (or that it
resides on the path) if you are using MsDos Version < 3.00.  In any
case, you need to 'set TELIX=<path>' if you are not going to start
it up from the subdirectory in which it resides.

To fix this problem, do one of two things:
Change to the TELIX drive before running telix, for example:
A:
TELIX

or put the drive/directory in a PATH statement, in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file,
like this example:

PATH=C:\TELIX;<other paths.........>
