469.0. "Too many choices in Tabletalk!" by 51342::MARI () Fri Oct 11 1991 12:35

    After we upgraded to Focus 6.1  the user can chose between around 50 
    different files in Table-talk. This makes the system quite heavy to
    work with.
    
    The FOCUS directory has grown from 112 files in version 5.3 to 364 in
    version 6.1. The number of .MAS files have grown from 12 in version 5.3
    to 34 in version 6.1. These .MAS files are some of the extra files I
    find in Tabletalk, but in addition to them I get some files that I
    don't know where are located. 
    
    I'm of course not allowed to access all these files. If I chose the
    files on the FOCUS directory I get the message <FOC1006) DDNAME IS NOT 
    ALLOCATED. For the other files I get the message: (FOC1451) FILEDEF MISSING 
    FOR EXTERNAL FILE.
    
    Is this an (unwanted) new feature with 6.1 or have we one anything
    wrong during the installation?

If any of these master names are in the IBI$FOCUS area where your focus.exe
is located, the would should up in TABLETALK there and truly may not have
DDNAME allocated.

I would move them some where else.
