Troubleshooting

I receive a "Database not found (iNet 1441)" error everytime I try to add data.
Before you can use MorseCode, you first need to install the iKnapsak application.

iKnapsack gives me an error that the plug-in with the Creator ID of "iMSC" could not be found.
You need to install the MorseCode Player Plug-in. This file handles the actual playback of text in Morse Code.
