The rest of the MPW environment doesn't rely on the Assembler in any way.  Each of the compilers simply puts out a compatible link file.  BUT this will not be cheap by any means: you are talking over $200 just for the basic shell and assembler.

Just a guess but do you have a WIND resource of ID = BASE_RES_ID in your resource file?  If not then GetNewWindow will return a nil pointer which you are then passing to ShowWindow with the expected results.
