A question about MacMarlais for you and anyone else who'd care to answer.

While I have Marlais running happily on a SunOS box, I have as yet been
unable to get MacMarlais to run on my Mac IIvx. Neither of the two
executables supplied with the MacMarlais distribution run correctly. The
both start up but whenever a key is pressed, all I get is beeps with each
keystroke. That's it. Then, when quitting from either app. I get an alert
telling me that the program has quit with an error of type 1. 

I've tried recompiling the sources under Symantec C++ v7.0 with the same
results.

What's the problem?

Rgds,

David Benn
