Seplowitz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: GEOS Companion Disk Keywords: Problems... Message-ID: Date: 17 Feb 91 01:03:19 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 34 Does anyone have RUN's GEOS Companion Disk. I just received it today and have encountered two problems. Since it is Saturday, I cannot call RUN until Monday...I thought this newsgroup might provide a faster solution. The first problem is most serious to me (since it is one of the main reasons for purchasing this package), the 1581 Bootmaker program does not work properly. It creates the bootdisk and all the files. I copied the suggested files over to it and then turned off the computer and tried to boot GEOS with the 1581 bootdisk. Everything goes fine, except at the very end of the load, after the deskTop is fully displayed, the computer crashes and GEOS reports a "system error near xxxx" dialogue box that is continuously redrawn. I tried removing the two autoexec files (Center 80 and geoWizard), but that didn't help. I made sure the the configure 2.1 file was configured properly, but that didn't help. Can anyone help me with this problem? The other problem is with the Batch Filecopier, it doesn't allow you to copy files from one disk to another. When you select the "Copy" button, a dialogue box comes up but no files are in it! What's the problem?
