There are no files matching your specification. You may have keyed it in incorrectly. Examples of file specs: * TEST* *.TXT X?TEST.*

{ { ---------------------------------------------------------{ Error help for olprog { { ---------------------------------------------------------{ TRUNCATED A Not enough room for program Your CNC program is too large to fit into the available memory. Therefore, it has been incompletely loaded, and you should bear this in mind whilst editing it. If this error persists your computer will need a memory upgrade. READ ERR A Program load error A disc error has occurred whilst loading your CNC program. You should check for faults on your floppy or hard disc. The DOS CHKDSK utility will do this for you. NO LOAD FILE A New program A program of the name you have given does not exist on disc. A blank program has been created in memory so that you can begin typing in a brand new program. The name you have just given will be retained for use when saving your program. NO MERGE FILE A CNC block not found The CNC program you desire to merge into your current program cannot be found on disc. CANT SAVE PROG A Cannot save program Your program cannot be saved due to a disc fault. Use the DOS utility CHKDSK to check your disc for faults. OPT SHORT A Options incomplete

It was not possible to load the entire contents of your options file. You may either have a faulty disc or not enough memory. OPT LOAD ERR A Options file not found There is no options file of the given name on disc. Try again with a different name. OPT SAVE ERR A Cannot save options The current options cannot be saved in a file. This may mean that your disc has become faulty or that you are trying to overwrite a read-only file. Use the DOS utility CHKDSK to check your disc for faults. CANT CH OPTION A Cannot change option There is not enough memory to change this option. If this fault persists you should consider a memory upgrade. PRINT ERR A Print error A device error ocurred during printing. If you are sending the print to a file then this indicates a disc fault. When printing to a DOS device this indicates that DOS has returned an error. When printing to an RS232 serial port this indicates a transmission error. CANT PRINT A Cannot print This means that the printing device for which you are configured does not exist. If you are directing the print to a file then you have a disc fault, or your are trying to overwrite a read-only file. NO LINE ROOM A No room for edit There is not enough memory left for the editor to save the line currently being edited.

Some operations (eg. save & print) cannot take place when this happens. Remove some characters from the line and try again. If this error repeatedly occurs then you may have to upgrade the quantity of memory in your computer. NO COPY ROOM A No room for copy There is not enough space left in the editor to allow you to copy the marked block. This will typically happen when copying a large block. { SIMULATION SETTINGS MENU A Change Simulation Settings 1 of 2
