If your code is pre 5.0 the problem is pretty simple to fix.  Symantec changed
it's file header names to match MPW's in it's 5.0 release of Think C. I still
have the list of name changes somewhere around here. If you'd like I can e-mail
it to you.

Another potential problem is that you might not have included MacTraps in your
project file

Good Luck,

Danny
