Thanks Reinhard, <div>You and Karl have made useful suggestions. I am still working through all of this however. I'll let everyone know what seems to work on Mac OS X 7.4 when I have finished.</div><div><br></div>

</div>Hi Walt,<br>
many years ago I installed MT1 on Linux. AFAIR it worked almost<br>
out-of-the box. The only thing I had to do was to replace<br>
<br>
CONSOLE="CON"<br>
<br>
by<br>
<br>
CONSOLE="/dev/tty"<br>
<br>
in the BEGIN section of the awk scripts. All other files have the<br>
same time stamp, hence I'm convinced that nothing else had to be<br>
adapted. The .bat files were only wrappers for other programs and<br>
don't do anything serious. They were not needed on Unix.<br>
<br>
Don't know whether it's that simple with newer versions of MT1 too.<br>
But it's always possible to compile a sample file and see where it<br>
crashes.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard<br>
