Swat can't find my geode when I use "send".



Q. When I type "send mygeode" in Swat, it comes back and says it can't
   find my geode. Why is that happening?

A. There could be several causes of this problem:

   - your FILES setting is too low in config.sys (or config.nt on
     Windows NT systems); make it at least 100 or 120

   - the geode name is case-sensitive, be sure you're typing the
     correct name; e.g. "send aixtract" vs. "send AIxtract"

   - the "name" line in your .gp file doesn't match the name of
     your geode; make sure the directory containing your app, the
     name of the .gp file, and the name in the "name" line of your
     .gp file all match exactly (although the directory name can
     be of different case)

   - you are using a specific geode filename such as "geodeec.geo";
     Swat can't always find the geode if you type the exact file
     name of the geode (because Swat deals with "patients" not
     files). Instead, type "send mygeode" as opposed to
     "send mygeode.geo". Swat will determine, based on what demo
     you are running, whether it should send the EC or non-EC
     version of your geode.
