If this message appears on screen it indicates that Morse Academy is unable
to find files needed for operation. This is probably due to use of the
APPEND command being used to specify a list of directories to be searched for
data files. Many games sold for compatible PC's recommend the user name the
directory containing the program's data in an APPEND statement. If this is
done for even one program and the user attempts to execute Morse Academy when
the current directory is not MA's, this error can occur. For example if
Morse Academy is located in the sub-directory C:\EXAMS\CODE, perhaps clearly
defined in your PATH statement but is not the current one in your DOS prompt,
you should also include the path in the AUTOEXEC.BAT's APPEND statement along
with the others already named.
Microsoft recommends the APPEND statement NOT be used globally in
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Instead they suggest you create separate BAT files containing
the APPEND statement to execute a program requiring it. For example, the BAT
file to execute program GAME1 might include:
APPEND C:\GAME1\DATA (adds GAME1's data directory to search path)
\GAME1\GAME1 (executes GAME1 from sub-directory \GAME1)
APPEND; (empties the APPEND list after executing the game)
Carefully read DOS instructions on the use of PATH and APPEND and make sure
there is no conflict.
