They were the pre-release codenames for Visual Studio:

Everett --> VS 2003 (.NET 1.1)
Whidbey --> VS 2005 (.NET 2.0)

Maybe you haven't got the TEMP environment variable defined, or haven't
got 
write access to the corresponding directory? Try compiling with the
verbose 
option

gpx /cgV

and see if that gives any additional clues.

If you make some progress with this and decide to attempt to ****t your 
applications, let me know as I have an experimental version of my
Component 
Pascal IDE
http://www.cfbsoftware.com/cpide
which sup****ts Modula-2 source code that 
you are welcome to try. It's infinitely easier than trying to use a text 
editor and the command-line for compiling.
