Oracle Forms 4.0 User Exits on the Mac

I'm trying to build a new Oracle Forms 4.0 Runtime executable with a User Exit on the Mac. I'm having a problem when trying to build the Oracle supplied "sampleexit" demo. I have the following versions:
Mac O/S 7.5.1
Oracle Forms 4.0.13
MPW 3.4 (from the ETO #19 CD)
Oracle Technical Support says that the version of MPW is "too new", and that
they only support MPW 3.2. APDA says that they don't have and can't supply
any older versions.
I have tried the following steps to get around this problem: 1. Compile using SC and change the link steps per the instructions in the
various text files in the library folders gives me a linker error,
undefined symbol "qd".
2. Compile using C from the MPW Archive and link with the libraries from
the archive gives me many undefined symbols, of which "qd" is one. 3. Added the line "QDGlobals qd;" and the Quickdraw.h include file to
the source will give me a clean compile and link (with either C or SC) but as soon as I run the sample form I get a Type-1 error. (The form does run with the standard runtime and fails when the user exit is called.)
Has anyone successfully added a user exit to the forms runtime on the Mac?
Has anyone been able to do it with the current version of MPW? Can you give
me some help?
If the version of MPW is the problem, is there any way to get the older
version?
Any help would be appreciated.
