Outline Disk is Write—Protected!
Where It May Occur: Varies
Possible Causes: You’ve tried to open, add to, or change
an outline on a “write—protected” disk. ThinkTank will let
you examine the outline, but the commands for adding or
changing information (e.g. NEW, COPY, DELETE) will not appear
on menus.
Suggested Solutions: Remove the “write—protect tabfrom
the notch on the disk to enable ThinkTank to record infor-
mation on it. If you want to assure that the information aL-
ready on the disk will not be inadvertently erased, make a
backup copy or use a different disk. You may have to close
and reopen the outline to get the “writing” commands to reap-
pear.
Outline File Disappeared!
Where It May occur: Multi—user hard disk systems only
Possible Causes: While you were working on an outline,
another user deleted your outline file!
Suggested Soluions: Restore your outline from a backup
copy.
Outline Format is Not Compatible!
Where It May Occur: FILES/EXISTS
Possible Causes: You’ve tried to open an outline that
was created on a different computer or with a different and in-
compatible version of ThinkTank.
Suggested Solutions: Use the other computer or version
of ThinkTank to port the outline to a text file. Then port
the file back into an outline on your current system.
