Well, it's more *generic* than cryptic.  Assuming you're getting the dialog
I think you are (a 40-column text box, since you were in text mode), it's
actually the ProDOS FST that's complaining, not ORCA.

I don't have a handy list of all the things the ProDOS FST can complain about,
but I suggest you use Glen Bredon's Mr.Fixit utility to see what's wrong with
your volume.
