RE: Tkemc problems

Dan,

I was the one who posted this problem. The general gist of the reply from
Ray and Will is that there are now more error messages given to help
diagnose problems. This message is just telling us that the TASK process has
not yet started so the GUI is unable to read the status. I was told to not
worry as once the TASK process starts the GUI will come up as it just keeps
on trying.
