I recently bought MPW along with TML Pascal II and I'm having a serious problem
getting them to work (at all).  I'm a MPW novice (which is why I bought the
bundle), so I thought I'd build the sample programs which came along with the
set.  TML Pascal automates the build process pretty much.  All goes fine until
I get to the "Link" stage (which I can see from the message box at the lower
left of the worksheet).  Then the beachball spins for a couple of seconds and
stops.  Nada.  I thought maybe it just takes a while to link.  Even after 15
minutes it just sits there.  No disk access, nothing.

The Mac hasn't crashed: I can stop Link by hitting command-period.  And then I
always get this message:

### Link: Resource not found (OS error -192)  
### Link: Error: Resource I/O error, # (Error 6) setting resource attributes.
### Link: Errors prevented normal completion.
### MPW Shell - Execution of FrameWork.projout terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of TMLBuildProject terminated.


Maybe it's something in their code, but the same thing happened with two sample
projects.  In fact, I followed along with the manual in trying to build one of
them.  I installed everything correctly, I believe, since the installation
procedure is taken care of with an installation disk.


So, here's the data.  This is the project which TML Pascal uses internally to
to build the app:

Set Echo 1
	TMLPascal Globals.p  
	TMLPascal Printer.p  
	TMLPascal FileIO.p  
	TMLPascal Events.p  
	TMLPascal Framework.p  
	Link -w -t 'APPL' -c 'FRAM' 6
		Framework.p.o 6
		Globals.p.o 6
		Printer.p.o 6
		FileIO.p.o 6
		Events.p.o 6
		"{Libraries}"Runtime.o 6
		"{Libraries}"Interface.o 6
		"{TMLPLibraries}"TMLPasLib.o 6
		-o FrameWork
	Rez -append -o FrameWork 6
		 Framework.r
	SetFile -a B FrameWork


And this is the output I get:

# 22:03:19 ----- Build project: FrameWork.
    TMLPascal Globals.p
    TMLPascal Printer.p
    TMLPascal FileIO.p
    TMLPascal Events.p
    TMLPascal Framework.p
    Link -w -t 'APPL' -c 'FRAM' Framework.p.o Globals.p.o Printer.p.o
FileIO.p.o
Events.p.o "Gandalf:MPW:Libraries:Libraries:"Runtime.o
"Gandalf:MPW:Libraries:Libraries:"Interface.o
"Gandalf:MPW:Libraries:TMLPLibraries:"TMLPasLib.o -o FrameWork
[HERE IS WHERE IT HANGS AND I HAVE TO HIT COMMAND-PERIOD]
### Link: Resource not found (OS error -192)  
### Link: Error: Resource I/O error, # (Error 6) setting resource attributes.
### Link: Errors prevented normal completion.
### MPW Shell - Execution of FrameWork.projout terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of TMLBuildProject terminated.

(The link line there got kind of messed up, since it's longer than the screen
width; it's all on one line in the worksheet).

Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated.  I've re-installed the thing 3 times. 
I'm running System 6.0.2, and have as INITS: TMON, Jasmine,
Guardian,Vaccine,Moire.  I'm running on a Mac II with 2 Megs.
