Greetings - I have TML Pascal version 2.0 and I have run into some
problems.  As I know this has been around awhile, I figured that someone
would be able to clue me in.  Please e-mail your responses as I suspect
that most people are on to more advanced things by now.

First question - is there a way to set things up so that a program running
from a specific disk can verify that it is running on a particular Mac?  In
particular, I have a lab w/10 Macs in it and I would like to restrict
certain applications to certain machines.  I would like a start-up
application that could ask who the user is and verify that it is running on
(say) Mac #7.  If all was well, the program would then hand things over to
the Finder.  Is this possible?  How would you go about doing this?  I am
running a mixed collection of 512s, Pluses and (soon) a couple of SEs.

Second - the TML example program boxes.pas bombs.  Everything compiles
fine, but when the program is run, it opens a window with Boxes at the top
and then dies.  This happens on both a Plus and a 512 and strikes me as
most deviant for an example program! Has anyone else had this problem? 
What was the fix?

I have a LaserWriter Plus and would love to be able to print out my
programs on it directly.  However, I get a bomb when I try to print from
the Editor.  Is there a fix for this?

Thanks for your help...

Cheers...
