Running on Linux

I have $HOME/.local/share/pat/Standard_Forms/ICS\ USA\ Forms/

run #1
pat compose

results are error: could not find ICS213.txt

I looked, there is no such file, but there IS a file named ICS213\ General\ Message.txt. So I did a softlink of that file to ICS213.txt

run #2

results this time: error 
failed to compose message for template: open ICS USA Forms/ICS213: no such file or directory

Not sure what is going on here.

So can someone give me the exact command that will work? pat composeform yada yada?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Please try `pat compose --template ICS\ USA\ Forms/ICS213\ General\ Message.txt`.

That works for me. Running latest v0.19.2.

worked. The reason, it didn't, was because I had an old version of pat winlink.

Thanks for your help.
