I had a lot of problems with this, the same as you are having.  You need
to go to the Mills site and download the latest versions of Perf and
Csound.  I recall that it was a bit  difficult to find the latest
versions.  Another problem I had was that text files you use must by in
Macintosh format; use your editor to resave Unix or DOS text files to
Mac format;  the other platforms insert different characters at the end
of lines that tend to screw things up.  I hope this helps.

	the two you want are at:	ftp://mills.edu/ccm/csound.ppc

			files:		perf3.47(beta3) and
					CSound_FrontEnd_0.3.2

once dave gets back in town all files, documentation will be cleaned up.
(and a new version)
sorry for the confusion.

P.S.  some whining: in my opinion, Mills 
College is undeservedly associated/credited with the "Mills" 
CSound version.
