ThinkTank Manual
Can’t List This Disk!
Where It May Occur: SPECIAL/DISK—MANAGER/LIST
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 in-
serted 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.
