Disk file errors
While reading in the system files, several reading errors can occur. The
system files are SYSSU.DAT, INSTAL.DAT, and PLOT.DAT.
ANASOFT cannot run without these files.

program. If these files are not in the right
directories, copy the system files from the
backup disks to the appropriate directories.
