  Message:      RT043
 
  Text:         File information missing for indexed file
 
  Severity:     Fatal
 
  Explanation:  The system has crashed on your program's previous run,
                while the file was open. Information was probably added to
                the end of the file, but the directory information was not
                updated and so that data cannot be accessed by your
                system. Alternatively, you have copied the indexed file
                from one disk to another but have copied either only the
                data part of the file or only the index.
 
  Resolution:   If the error is the result of a crash then whether you
                can access the necessary data or not is entirely system
                dependent. If, however, it is the result of a faulty copy
                you should be able to restore the missing part of the file
                from the .dat or .idx file.
