#AMIG21

I downloaded a program-AMIG21-from this forum. When i click on the icon
for the program i get an eror message which says "Error While Opening
:Iconx : 205". What's wrong, how do I fix it. I realize that this is not
your upload, but I sseem to have some sort of generic problem, not one
specific tothe program.
Error 205 means that the computer did not find the program associated with
the icon. It could be that the icon's tooltypes or default tool are wrong.
Have you clicked once on the icon, then selected INFO from the menus, and
looked to see what they are? A misspelled name could do that – or not
having the correct tool in the place where the program expects it.
(I am assuming that you had unpacked the file, made an icon for the drawer,
etc., and that your problem came when the drawer was open and you clicked
the icon it its window.)
That sounds like someone goofed in creating the icon. What the error
message means is that it couldn't open the program ":Iconx". This is
probably because it couldn't find the file. Notice the colon in front.
This means that it will look for Iconx in the root directory of whatever
disk you put the program on. And Iconx is probably not there. On a
typical Workbench 1.3 disk, IconX is located in the "c" directory, and thus
the icon *should* be looking for "SYS:c/iconx", or better yet, "C:iconx".
If you click on the icon once and choose Info from the Workbench menu,
you'll get the icon's description and can change where it says ":Iconx" to
"C:Iconx" and it should work fine.
