ThinkTank Manual
Can’t List This Disk!
Where It May Occur:
Possible Causes: ThinkTank’s disk manager (not provided on all versions of ThinkTank) couldn’t list the directory of the disk in Drive 2. It may be empty (formatted but without files), unformatted, formatted for a different operating system, defective, or absent.
Suggested Solutions: Make sure the disk is properly inserted in Drive 2. If you have another operating system,
check whether it can read it. If you wish, you can use the FORMAT option to (re)format it.
Can’t Load Required Intrinsics
Where It May Occur: Startup
Possible Causes: This message comes from PASCAL, not from ThinkTank. When you start up ThinkTank, the operating system looks for the file SYSTEM.LIBRARY on the disk or volume from which you started or loaded PASCAL (the “boot disk”). If it can’t find the file or the volume, it displays this mes- sage.
Suggested Solutions: If you have a floppy disk system, you will see this message only if you have used a secondary method to start up ThinkTank. The simplest solution is to use an alternate method, preferably powering up or resetting your computer if those methods are available. If they aren’t, the SYSTEM.LIBRARY file is included on the THINKTANK PROGRAM
DISK. Either start up PASCAL from this disk, or put it on the disk from which you load PASCAL and make sure it is on your system when you start up ThinkTank.
If you have a hard disk system, make sure SYSTEM.LIBRARY is on your “boot disk.” Copy it there from the THINKTANK PROGRAM DISK, or use the SYSTEM.LIBRARY file that comes with the PASCAL operating system.
