Greetings -

I am an experienced programmer (Lisp, C, Pascal, etc.) who needs to
learn C++ and Macintosh programming, so I thought I would pick up a copy
of MacApp and the C++ package.  I have so far been unsuccessful getting
any of the C++ example programs to compile.  The Pascal examples compile
and run OK, and the non-MacApp C++ examples seem to work as well.  Here

  pascal void TNothingApplication::INothingApplication(OSType itsMainFileType)
This is the first method definition in the file.  In fact, when I try to
build the other examples, it consistently barfs on the first method
definition in the file.  What am I doing wrong??

I have MPW 3.1 with C & C++, MacApp 2.0, and System 6.0.3 on an SE/30.  
I am using the -mf option to C++ and have set the MPW Shell application 
size to 2M and the stack to 96K.

When I tried to find a description of "C - Fatal Error : 430" in the
documentation, I was unable to find any sort of tabulation of errors
and their meanings.  Is this typical of Apple's stuff??

Thanks in advance for whatever light you can shed on this.
