Missing MCF Files

If there is no MCF file to match a GCF file, the program sets the Status Table to the first Status Table in
the MCNRCD.CFG file (typically "Default"). This matches how the MCNRCD for DOS program
handles a missing MCF file.

Empty Status Table Entries

If the .MCF file points to a non-existent Status Table in MCNRCD.CFG, the Table entry will be
"Empty" as shown below.

This will normally not occur, since the DOS version of MCNRCD will exit if it sees this condition.

If you see "Empty" in the Table column, it usually means:

 You have imported a GCF file that is not normally used in your system

 You have modified the MCF or MCNRCD.CFG file so that the Status Tables

(custom categories) don't match.

To correct the "Empty" problem, either:

 Close the current system and re-import without the extra GCF file or

 Modify the MCF or MCNRCD file so that all the Status Table entries are valid or

 For the receivers showing "Empty", select an appropriate Status Table from the drop-down list.

(To speed this up, after you have changed a few entries, use the Copy & Paste commands to
copy a range of entries.)

When there is an "Empty" entry, the drop-down list will initially show a blank.

To bring up the list, click again on the Down Arrow in the drop-down list.
