Are you running the 5.1 patches 
<ftp://ftp.digitool.com/mcl/patches/MCL-5.1-patches.dmg.bin>, they 
include changes to event-wdef (which I assume is the source of your 
Phooey error in CCL::NAV-CHOOSE-NEW-FILE-DIALOG)?

You can build/save applications with MCL 5.1 Demo Version, but they 
are time limited.

You don't say what MacOS you are using, I presume MCL 5.1 was 
primarily Tiger compatible.

I don't know of any guide on how to move a project from MCL-5.1 to 
MCL-5.2 but you can start with the "@Release Notes 5.2" file.

It might be worth listing in detail all the incompatibilities and 
errors that you get, and the context in which you get them.  Not just 
to help others help you, but to help yourself.

Perhaps the author of recherche.ircam.fr has been here before you.
