	After spending the weekend on it, I had to increment the 
	stack space of the Pascal tool to 0x00040000 to get
	it to compile properly.  It was silently corrupting the
	resource fork of the source files in writing the tables.
	So that subsequent compile would crash while reading the 
	faulty tables.

	The MultiFinder partition had to be upped to 2560 or the
	Link tool would silently produced corrupted file that Rez
	could not happend to!
