There are several ways of doing this:

1) go in and change your .make files to include the -mc68881 option on the
   Pascal compile line.

2) Better yet, use the alias command to include the -mc68881 option, thus:
	alias Pascal Pascal -mc68881
   That way, when the MacApp Build system executes the pascal command, the
   -mc68881 option gets included in there.

3) Get MacApp 2.0 when it comes out. The final version will have the capability
   of passing compiler options. So you could say something like:
	MABuild -pascal "-mc68881" Nothing

If you go by routes 1 or 2, don't forget to recompile all of your MacApp
sources.
