This is _very_ strange... is there anything "unusual" about your COMPILE 
statements? Maybe they actually start with spaces before the word COMPILE 
or something, causing Staz's "IF" test to miss it? Or maybe you tried to 
convert a single file, rather than a "pi" project file?

I can guarantee that if they're left in, the compiler will be completely 
befuddled - there is a _new_ "COMPILE" statement that's added to your 
code automatically based on the choices in the prefs, and it uses 
different constants. (See "Project Manager", pages 4-5.) If you have a 
COMPILE in your code elsewhere, the "old" set of constants generated from 
it will do something almost guaranteed to be totally random...
