I believe that this version is obsolete.  The MS compiler was produced
by AbSoft and I think the current version is 2.4.  You should contact
AbSoft and see whether the problems are fixed in the current version.
Their number is (313)853-0050 and they have a BBS (1200 baud) at
(313)853-0000.

I have found the AbSoft compiler for the Mac very picky.  I have been
using version 2.3 of their Atari ST compiler and it is a lot easier to
work with.  However, both compilers have handled a large body of pretty
complex code.
