Problem Title:
Proflow : DOS error #53 : Can't open file.


Problem Description:
Upon entering ProFlow you may receive the following error :

DOS error #53 : Can't open file.


Solution 1:

One possible cause of this error is a corrupted or incorrect project.lst
file.  Open the <proser>\standard\vf\project.lst with a text editor and
examine the directory paths to be sure they exist.  The project.lst file
should look like the following :

2
c:\designs\mydesign  <----  Verify all directories exist
c:\others\urdesign   <----    and not on a network.
c:\demos\pci	     <----



Solution 2:

Verify that the WDIR variable in the c:\autoexec.bat file is set correctly.  It
should point to the <proser>/standard directory.
***Also be sure there are no spaces after the path.***
This is also known to cause this error.

For Example :

SET WDIR=C:\PROSER\STANDARD
