Either no language packs have been installed, or the
“TextBridge® Pouch” folder is missing or damaged.  The
TextBridge Pouch must be in the same folder as the
TextBridge Pro application. Move the pouch to the correct
location or reinstall TextBridge Pro from the CD-ROM.

At least one language pack must be installed. If you have moved
the TextBridge Pro application to a new location, such as the
desktop, move the TextBridge® Pouch there as well. Or, instead
of moving the application itself, create an alias for TextBridge Pro
and put it on the desktop or in the Apple Menu Items folder.

If the TextBridge® Pouch has been deleted or cannot be found
reinstall from the TextBridge Pro CD-ROM.

1022

TextBridge Pro could not find any language packs in the
TextBridge® Pouch. Quit TextBridge Pro and install at
least one language pack from the TextBridge Pro CD-ROM.

The language packs in the TextBridge® Pouch folder have been
inadvertently deleted, renamed, or corrupted.

Reinstall TextBridge Pro. Refer to Chapter 2 of this manual for
information about installing TextBridge Pro.
