    Trying to compile Murder Mansion with MPLC and getting an error. Hoping someone can help me out.

    Sounds like you have a very old version of whatever MPL program you are trying to run, possibly something that is more than 10+ years old. There may be a newer version of it somewhere.

    Error in mansion.mps (Line 3, Col 8): Expected: module type

    The contents of the first few lines of the .mps are:

    Uses CFG
    Uses User
    Uses Dir

    In this case you'd just want to remove the "Uses Dir" line entirely, but I suspect you're going to see more errors after that given that this may be from an early 1990s iteration of the MPL language.

    I'll take a look. Thanks.
