 The GS/OS exerciser is not on America Online.  Its
bundled with GSBug and was given away free at
KansasFest but there isn't any other way to get it.
GSBug is worth the $$, you can order it straight
from APDA.  
 
Error $4F means the space you have provided for a
pathname is too small ("Class 1 output path too
small" or somesuch).  You need to expand the size of
the buffer provided.  One way to handle this easily
is to allocate a XX byte handle (ie, 69) and then if
you get error $4F resize the handle to XX more bytes
(ie, 69+200).  Keep incrementing by 100,1000,50, or
whatever bytes until you don't get error $4F.

Another (easier) way is to allocate a 4k or 8k
buffer...but that could increase the size of your
program dramatically!
