<<I received the following.
LinkEd> XL XL=NMXL.XL
The MAPPING OPTIONS for the file are not correct.  (FILE OPEN ERROR -462)
File System message 462
ATTEMPT TO OPEN/CREATE FILE "NMXL.XL" FAILED  (LINKERR 1112)
I searched the LaserROM, and found:

---------------------------------------------------------------
462          MESSAGE    The MAPPING OPTIONS for the file are not correct.
(FILE OPEN ERROR 462)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Well. Now I know. Anyone know what to do here?>>


It just means that you're trying to update the XL while some process is using it. I think the "mapping options" less-than-helpful garbage comes from the difference between how LinkEdit is trying to HPFOPEN it, i.e. with write access and maybe exclusive access, and the way the existing user already has it open, i.e. in some shared-read mode. IOW it's inexcusable geek-speak that is fine for the programmer but should never be shown to the user.
