According to the GS/OS reference, error $5C is "not an executable
file".  There are two cases in which this could appear.

One of them is if you try to set up a IIgs system disk with a startup
file that is of the wrong type.  The startup file must be one of:

/Disk/System/START:  S16
/Disk/xxx.SYS16:     S16
/Disk/xxx.SYSTEM:    SYS

In particular, I don't think you can make a SYS file into the startup
program by calling it START and placing it in the SYSTEM directory.

I suggest you check the above files to make sure there is nothing
strange going on.


The other case is if a QUIT call tries to execute a file that isn't of
type SYS or S16.
