   I am sure that someone may have already replied to the message that I
posted on the 24th, but HD space limitations may have caused a reply
to be nuked before I could see it.

Basically, I was having problems with a script that couldn't seem
to recognize existing pathnames.

Turns out that the script was built in a way that didn't allow SPACES
in path.  I happened to still have my HD named to the default "Macintosh HD"
(yes, A little pathetic, oh well!) and this causing all of the problems.

Is this a limitation of MPW ?  Was the script built improperly?  I don't
know, I didin't write the script....   I was simply using it to compile
Faircom's Ctree v4.3C ...

E-mail me if know what causes the problem.  Thanks!
