The latest release is version 1.11a, and it's been available
on the net for a few weeks now.

Pascal I/O doesn't seem to be real resistant to crashing when
running in a standalone application; this is one of the biggest problems
when using Pascal I/O in Lightspeed Pascal.
I can't offer a good workaround because I don't know of one; I would
suggest that perhaps you could rework the file-handling parts of your
program to use the Macintosh File Manager calls; in the long run
they're much more flexible, much more compatible, and (as we've seen) much
more reliable.
