   TOS Error #35, probably the most common error alert that is not
   self explanatory, happens when a program you are trying to run has
   somehow been corrupted.  What it means is that TOS can not find
   some magic numbers it expects to find either at the beginning or at
   the end of the program file. This error is usually attributable to
   operator error (as in trying to execute an archive or text file as
   a program), or to bit rot.


   Here are the BIOS "Critical" errors, and the alert text you see when
   they happen:
