[coco] MESS

[Michael Wayne Harwood]

I had a similar problem.  Are your BIOS files in a .zip file?  My experience
was best when keeping the files in the original archive they came in.

Okay...

 From the Options/Directories, I chose browse to find the folder and
selected it. MESS still reports it can't find the files, even though it
shows them to be there.

 Is my copy broken, perhaps?
